The Women's PGA Championship is the second-longest running golf tournament in the history of the Ladies Professional Golf Association, surpassed only by the U.S. Women's Open. Founded 63 years ago in 1955, it is one of five majors on the LPGA Tour. It is not recognized as a major by the Ladies European Tour, which does not recognize any of the three majors played in the United States.

Formerly known as the "LPGA Championship," the event's name was changed to the "KPMG Women's PGA Championship" in 2015, and the tournament's management was shifted to the PGA of America.^[1]

Professional-amateur controversy

Prior to 2005, the LPGA Championship had a "professionals only" rule. This is similar to the men's PGA Championship, but contrasts with the U.S. and British Opens, which have long had both amateur and professional entrants through qualifying (henceforth the term "open"). Until its takeover by the PGA of America in 2015, the tournament was the LPGA's own event, and the LPGA was created specifically to provide opportunities for women in professional golf.

In 2005 this rule was revoked, effectively to allow 15-year-old amateur Michelle Wie to compete, in order to attract more media coverage and sell more tickets, though this was not publicly acknowledged by the LPGA. Some professionals objected to this move, as they felt that places given to amateurs would come at the expense of the LPGA Tour's less successful professionals, who need to play regularly to make a living. One of the leading professionals, Laura Davies, stated objections to the change were shortsighted.^[2]

At the time, Wie had made the cut in all five majors that she had played, with two top-ten finishes, and had also played twice in the Sony Open in Hawaii on the PGA Tour, but missed both cuts. Despite the controversy, she outscored all but one of the pros in the 2005 LPGA Championship and was the runner-up, three strokes behind three-time champion Annika Sörenstam.

In 2006, the LPGA Championship reverted to its "professionals only" status, with only pros in the field.^{[citation needed]} Wie had turned professional the previous October, upon signing multimillion-dollar endorsement contracts with Nike, Sony, and other sponsors.

Since the PGA of America took control of the tournament, venues will often bid for both a men's and Women's PGA Championship together. The 2020 and 2023 Women's PGA Championships were bid in such manner, as the PGA of America awarded Aronimink Golf Club the 2020 Women's and 2027 men's together, and Baltusrol Golf Club was given the 2023 Women's and 2029 men's together.
