The KPMG Women’s PGA Championship is returning to Minnesota in 2026, and when the world’s best women golfers arrive at Hazeltine National Golf Club from June 25-28, it will be more than just another stop on the Major Championship calendar. It will be a celebration of elite competition, innovative fan experiences, and unprecedented access for spectators and volunteers alike. With a strong focus on flexible ticketing, new hospitality options, and a volunteer program that places fans inside the ropes, the 2026 championship is shaping up to be one of the most accessible and fan-friendly majors in women’s golf history.

“This is a true Major Championship, and we’re incredibly excited to bring it back to Minnesota,” said Laura Frick, Championship Director of the 2026 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship. “Hazeltine has a special history with our event, and we’re ready to build on the impressive attendance we saw in 2019.”

Ticket Options Designed For Flexibility And Access

Tickets are at the heart of the 2026 fan experience, and organizers have made flexibility and affordability a priority. One of the biggest changes from the 2019 championship is that the event will be open to the public Thursday through Sunday only, focusing exclusively on competition days and ensuring every ticket holder experiences championship golf at its highest level.

General admission is built around the Any Day Flex Ticket, which allows fans to attend on any single competition day from Thursday through Sunday. Starting at $45, it provides full grounds access to Hazeltine National Golf Club, giving spectators the freedom to follow groups, camp near greens, or explore the expansive property at their own pace.

For groups or fans planning multiple visits, the Any Day Flex Four Pack offers even greater value. Starting at $140, the four tickets can be used in any combination – four people on one day, one person across four days, or anything in between. “We really leaned into flexibility with our ticketing this year,” Frick said. “We wanted fans to be able to experience the championship in a way that fits their schedule, their group size, and their budget.”

Walk-up tickets will also be available each competition day for fans who decide to attend at the last minute, further lowering the barrier for casual or first-time spectators.

One of the most fan-friendly programs returns in a big way in 2026: complimentary junior admission. All juniors aged 15 and under receive free grounds access when accompanied by a ticketed adult, with each adult allowed to bring up to four juniors. The championship will also honor military service, offering free daily grounds tickets for active duty, retirees, reservists, veterans, and National Guard members, along with one guest per day.

Club PGA: Elevated Viewing Without The All-Inclusive Price

New for 2026 is Club PGA, a hospitality-style experience designed for fans who want premium amenities without committing to a fully inclusive corporate package. Located overlooking the 17^th green, Club PGA offers shaded seating, dedicated restrooms, and a curated food and beverage experience featuring elevated Minnesota-inspired options and local craft beer, wine, and spirits available for purchase.

“Club PGA is one of the ticket options I’m most excited about,” Frick said. “It’s an elevated experience that’s still accessible to the general public, and it’s positioned on a hole that will have action all week long.”

Daily Club PGA tickets start at $125, while a weeklong package covering Thursday through Sunday is available for $500. Complimentary parking is included, making it an appealing option for fans seeking comfort, convenience, and prime sightlines.

Adding to the appeal, ticket buyers who spend $1,500 or more on KPMG Women’s PGA Championship tickets will receive a guaranteed opportunity to purchase two week-long tickets to the 2029 Ryder Cup, also being held at Hazeltine – a rare incentive that connects two of golf’s most prestigious events.

Volunteering: Inside The Ropes At A Major

Volunteers remain a vital part of the championship, and there are still limited opportunities available for 2026. Volunteering offers golf fans a chance to be part of the championship infrastructure while enjoying meaningful perks and behind-the-scenes access.

All volunteers receive an official uniform package that includes golf shirts, a pullover, and headwear, along with meal vouchers for scheduled shifts and complimentary parking. Each volunteer package is presented in an official PGA Volunteer drawstring bag, complete with a commemorative pin.

“Our volunteers are absolutely essential to delivering a world-class championship,” Frick said. “They’re ambassadors for the event and for Minnesota, and we make sure they’re taken care of while they’re helping us put on a Major.”

Volunteer roles span operations, hospitality, scoring, and fan services, offering a variety of ways to engage with the Championship depending on interests and availability. For many, it’s the closest possible experience to championship golf without carrying a bag inside the ropes.

Championship Overview: A Major Stage At Hazeltine

The 2026 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship will feature 156 of the world’s best female golfers, competing for one of the highest purses in women’s golf. As a Major Championship collaboration between the PGA of America, LPGA, and KPMG, the event represents the pinnacle of professional women’s golf.

Hazeltine National Golf Club last hosted the championship in 2019, when huge crowds witnessed Hannah Green capture her first Major title. Spectators came out in droves for that event, and organizers are aiming to surpass those numbers in 2026.

“This will be one of the most technologically advanced Championships in women’s golf,” Frick said. “From shot-tracking data to broadcast coverage, everything we do is designed to showcase these athletes at the highest level.”

Fans can expect comprehensive television coverage through NBC and Golf Channel, along with on-site enhancements such as a week-long fan zone and special programming. One highlight will be Junior Golf Day on Saturday, June 27, featuring giveaways, trophy photos, junior-only autograph opportunities, and interactive activities designed to inspire the next generation of golfers.

As the championship returns to Minnesota for the 72^nd edition, it will mark the fifth PGA of America Championship contested at Hazeltine. With world-class golf, accessible ticketing, meaningful volunteer opportunities, and a venue synonymous with major moments, the 2026 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship is poised to be one of the defining sporting events of the year – both on and off the course.
