There was no lack of drama en route to Mirim Lee’s victory at the ANA Inspiration. Three times during the final round Lee chipped in and those three critical shots lifted her to the top of the leaderboard, eventually into a three-way playoff with Nelly Korda and Brooke Henderson. Lee drained a birdie putt on the first playoff hole, the par 5 18th, to capture her first major title.

Lee joins Sophia Popov, the winner of the AIG Women’s Open Championship, as the first two major champions of 2020. They are both in the field at the season’s third major championship, the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship at Aronimink Golf Club. Lee has twice finished in the top 10 at the Championship, most recently in 2019 at Hazeltine National Golf Club.

The field at the 2020 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship continues to take shape with Kim Kaufman and Haley Moore being added to the field following the ANA Inspiration. Kaufman, who was not in the field at Mission Hills, won on the Symetra Tour at the Four Winds Invitational for her third victory on the developmental tour. Kaufman will make her first major start of the 2020 season when she tees it up at Aronimink. Moore will make her debut at the 2020 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship. Moore, a rookie on the LPGA Tour in 2020, has made two prior major starts, her best finish coming in a T67 at the 2015 ANA Inspiration.

Below is the preliminary field list for the 2020 KPMG Women's PGA Championship at Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania, as of September 15, 2020. The field is subject to change. The field, with the exception of a spot for the winner of the Shoprite LPGA Classic, will be set on September 22nd.
