KPMG Women's PGA Championship golfers have played courses in Washington, Ohio, New York and other states, but never in Texas — until now.

It will be the second major ever, and the first women's major, played at Fields Ranch East at PGA Frisco.

Holding the championship in Frisco means offering another avenue into the game for attendees, Mengel said.

“If you're an avid golfer, a lot of golf courses might not be as accessible as (Fields Ranch East) is,” he said.

For example, local players have the opportunity to play the exact same course as professional players during the championship, Mengel said.

The other side

In 2023 there were about 7 million women golfers, a 25% increase from 2019, according to National Golf Foundation.

“You look at like, the current wave of national momentum with women's sports, of course you saw it with the Caitlin Clark phenomenon and then the Olympics,” Mengel said. “Having golf featured so prominently in the Olympics just gives us a chance to continue to build and carry forward the momentum we had with the KPMG Women's PGA Championship in '10-11 (the PGA of America has been a partner on this. “

Moving forward

Mengel said he expects a bigger crowd than that thousands of guests who participated in the 2023 KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship.
