KPMG Women's PGA Championship…Jun 11-14

Race to the CME Globe: 625 Points
Purse: $3,500,000
Format: 72 holes
Par: 73
Yardage: 6,670
History: This event began in 1955 and is one of the five majors on the LPGA Tour.

In 2014, Inbee Park approached the 17th tee two back of the lead and needing to make noise on two of the toughest holes on the course to put pressure on Brittany Lincicome, who led by two shots. As major champions tend to do, Park came through when it mattered most, draining a birdie on the 17th hole then coming through with a crucial 15-foot par putt on the final hole to push Lincicome into a playoff at 11-under-par. Again, with the pressure on, Park headed back to the 18th tee and made a par on the toughest hole on the course to not only defend her title but win in a playoff for the second straight time at this major championship.

Walking Sideways or Crawling Michelle Wie Will Navigate Westchester

Written By:
Amy Rogers

No matter what it takes this week, Michelle Wie will find a way to make it around Westchester Country Club.
The reigning U.S. Women’s Open Champion withdrew from last week’s Manulife LPGA Classic to continue rehabbing bursitis in her left hip after coming back too soon at the ShopRite LPGA Classic and missing the cut. Facing plenty of undulations on the course this week at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, Wie says she’ll be getting creative when it comes to navigating the course.
“We're coming up with ways to walk up these hills,” Wie said Tuesday. “You might see me walk backwards, walk sideways, maybe crawl a couple of times but I'll make it up the hills. That will be fun.”
After initially withdrawing from the Kingsmill Championship with pain in her hip, Wie filled her time off with various activities which included dying her hair purple, getting a new piercing, taking in a hockey game and a concert. In contrast, last week’s off week was all work.
“I did everything I could to get ready for this week,” said Wie. “I went to physical therapy every single day, just did everything I could. Got an injection and I just rested as much as I could.”
Wie also made time for a little bit of practice and spent time with trainer David Donatucci.
“Did a lot of hip stability stuff with David Donatucci, my trainer, and just tried to open up and just have better mechanics, open up the gates and it's feeling a lot better.”
Coming off the best season of her career, ranked third in scoring average, GIR and rounds under par, Wie has been plagued by illness and injury. Halfway through the year, Wie is confident she can turn the season around.
“The year is still long,” Wie said. “Unfortunately health has been a slight issue with injuries and whatnot late last year and early this year. But like I said, the season is still very long and I think I'm doing the right things to get back to being fully healthy. So I'm just trying to be patient and listen to my body.”
It was a finger injury that forced Wie to miss this event last year, but she’s excited to return for the new direction the championship has taken.
“I thought it was great that the PGA of America wanted to support the LPGA, and make our tournament even bigger and better. It is still an LPGA tournament it's our major. I think it's just kind of bigger and better.”
Part of the appeal for Wie is this year’s historic venue just outside New York City at Westchester Country Club, which has hosted both the PGA and Champions Tours.
“I think it's huge to go to big venues,” Wie said. “ It's a great setup. I played nine holes yesterday. Being so close to New York, it's also a lot of fun, as well. It's just the golf course seems like it's in really great shape.”
It’s just the first stop in the new partnership between the LPGA, PGA of America and KPMG who plan to move the event to other popular venues around the country in upcoming years.
“I'm excited to see the future venues where we'll play but I think KPMG has done such a great job elevating the women's game. You can see how much effort they put into this event, so it's going to be really great to see what happens.”
The effort Wie put into prepping for this week’s event can’t be overlooked either. She’ll be one to watch this week in search of her second major championship and first win of the season. She tees off at 1:40pm Thursday grouped with Charley Hull and Morgan Pressel.
