” Nelly Korda and Jeeno Thitikul battle for major glory as LPGA Tour stars gather at PGA Frisco…

When is the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship? Which players are in the field at PGA Frisco? Can world No 1 Nelly Korda claim her first LPGA Tour win of the season? Talking points ahead of the latest women’s golf major; watch live from Thursday on Sky Sports Golf

The women’s major season continues this week at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, with a star-studded field and the biggest names on the LPGA Tour all scheduled to tee it up at PGA Frisco.

Amy Yang returns as defending champion after last year’s thee-shot win over Jin Young Ko, Lilia Vu and Miyu Yamashita, although the Korean heads into her title defence without an LPGA Tour win this season.

Mao Saigo won the Chevron Championship in April following a dramatic play-off in Texas, while Sweden’s Maja Stark claimed her maiden major title earlier this month at the US Women’s Open, with both looking to build on their impressive campaigns.

World No 1 Nelly Korda is a former winner of the event and Jeeno Thitikul chases another victory, having won on both the LPGA Tour and the Ladies European Tour already this season, with Charley Hull among the European players chasing major glory.

Ahead of the third women’s major of the year, live throughout the week on Sky Sports, we look at some of the storylines to follow at PGA Frisco.

Can Korda end winless run and stay No 1?

Korda is still searching for her first win of the year on the LPGA Tour and arrives with her status as world No 1 under threat.

The American has topped the standings since last March after winning seven times – including five consecutive events – during a historic 2024, but is without a victory since a three-stroke success at The Annika in November.
