Description

The
McDonald's LPGA Championship presented by Coca-Cola
is a women's professional golf tournament. First held in 1955, it is one of five
majors
on the
LPGA Tour
. It is not recognized as a major by the
Ladies European Tour
, which does not recognize any of the three majors played in the
United States
.
Formerly known as the
LPGA Championship
, the
LPGA
announced in 2014 that the
PGA of America
would become a partner of the event, and that it would be renamed the Women's PGA Championship beginning in 2015—becoming a sister event to the men's
PGA Championship
(in a similar manner to the
U.S. Women's Open
being a sister event to the men's
U.S. Open
). The partnership included a new title sponsorship agreement with
KPMG
, an increase in purse, and a commitment by
NBC
to provide network television coverage of the weekend rounds
