Haeran Ryu wins the 2026 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minnesota, securing her first major title. The 25-year-old South Korean closes with a 2-under-par 70 on Sunday and finishes at 13-under, winning by two strokes over countrywoman Ina Yoon. Multiple reports describe Ryu rallying from a difficult start: after being 10 shots behind following the first round, she makes up ground over the next three rounds and ultimately overtakes a crowded leaderboard. Her final performance includes five birdies and three bogeys, highlighted by a par putt on the 18th green that seals the victory.
Sources also note that the win prevents Nelly Korda from pursuing a major history run during the tournament. Ryu’s victory is her first championship major after multiple top-10 results in previous major appearances, and it marks her fourth overall LPGA win. The prize amount reported is $1.95 million.
