Section 6: Scoring
Stroke Play
- 72-hole total in fewest strokes wins
- The cut is applied after 36 holes (typically top 70 and ties; specific cut line published in the Notice to Players)
- The player with the lowest 72-hole total wins the championship
Playoff
The KPMG Women's PGA Championship uses a sudden-death playoff: if players are tied after 72 holes, they play extra holes on pre-designated playoff holes until a single player wins a hole outright. The playoff holes are listed in the Notice to Players.
Prize Money
The KPMG Women's PGA Championship is among the highest-purse events in women's professional golf. Specific 2026 purse and per-position breakdown are published in the Notice to Players and the LPGA tournament overview. The Wanamaker Trophy is awarded to the champion.
