Pace of Play

Different

PGA TOUR

The PGA TOUR enforces a Pace of Play Policy.

Exceeding the ...

Section 2: Equipment

Different

PGA TOUR

The PGA TOUR Anti-Doping Program prohibits listed performance-enhancing substances and methods. Players are responsible for what is in their bodies and may be tested in and out of competition; the program is part of the integrity framework that surrounds equipment and play.

PGA of America

The KPMG Women's PGA enforces the One-Ball Rule during a stipulated round: the player must use a ball of the same brand and model. Breach is a stroke-play penalty of two strokes per hole at which the breach occurred, with a maximum penalty of four strokes per round.

Section 3: Playing Area

Different

PGA TOUR

A PGA TOUR event is contested over an 18-hole golf course, almost always set up to a par of 70, 71, or 72. Total yardage for a TOUR set-up commonly falls in the range of roughly 7,100 to 7,600 yards, varying by course, elevation, and conditions.

PGA of America

The 2026 KPMG Women's PGA is contested at Hazeltine National Golf Club (Chaska, Minnesota) — a Robert Trent Jones / Rees Jones design that has hosted multiple major championships including the Ryder Cup, U.S. Open, and PGA Championship.

Section 6: Scoring

Different

PGA TOUR

PGA of America

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.

Section 8: Safety Considerations

Different

PGA TOUR

The competition committee monitors weather, particularly lightning, throughout tournament week using on-site meteorology.; When a dangerous situation exists, the committee sounds the immediate-suspension signal and players must stop play at once, even mid-hole. A separate signal is used for a nor...

PGA of America

The three-tone air horn signals immediate suspension of play, typically for lightning. Players must stop play immediately, mark the ball position, and proceed to designated shelter.
