FRISCO, Texas (June 18, 2025) — The 2025 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, hosted at Fields Ranch East at PGA Frisco, will feature the Corebridge Financial Team, consisting of 10 PGA of America Golf Professionals and LPGA Professionals. Corebridge Financial has partnered with the PGA of America to sponsor the PGA of America Member teams in the Association’s three Major Championships: PGA Championship, Senior PGA Championship and KPMG Women’s PGA Championship. The three groups are recognized collectively as the Corebridge Financial Team.
Competing in the most prestigious Major in women’s golf, Corebridge Financial Team members earned a spot in the field by way of the 2024 LPGA Professionals National Championship at Innisbrook Resort’s Copperhead Course last July in Palm Harbor, Fla., and the 2025 PGA Women’s Stroke Play Championship at PGA Golf Club in Port St. Lucie, Fla., in February. Headlining the Corebridge Financial Team at Fields Ranch East are the winners of the two championships. Katelynn Sepmoree, PGA First Assistant Professional at Willow Brook Country Club, in Tyler, Texas, claimed a one-stroke victory at the PGA Women’s Stroke Play Championship. LPGA Professional Allie White, Director of Golf at Lancaster Golf Club in Lancaster, Ohio, successfully defended her title at the 2024 LPGA Professionals National Championship with a three-stroke victory.
“The 10 PGA of America and LPGA Professionals competing in the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship this week are making an impact in this game, both on and off the golf course,” said PGA of America President and Master Professional Don Rea Jr., Owner/Operator of Augusta Ranch Golf Club (Arizona). “They dedicate their careers to helping others love this game, all while competing at the highest levels. We are proud to have them represent our Associations this week at PGA Frisco.”

2025 Corebridge Financial Team

Heather Angell, PGA Director of Instruction at The Golf Club at Fiddler’s Creek in Naples, Fla., played on the LPGA Tour from 2003-19 before dedicating her career to instruction.

TUESDAY, JUNE 17, 2025 – The 2025 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, taking place June 19-22 at Fields Ranch East at PGA Frisco in Frisco, Texas, continues to set the standard for excellence in women’s golf. This major championship will feature a purse tied for the highest on the LPGA Tour, new technology enhancements for the world’s best players to elevate their game, one of the best fields in women’s golf and the most comprehensive broadcast coverage of any event on the LPGA Tour.
  • High purse: The 156-player field will compete for a $12 million purse, tied for the highest in women’s golf.
  • Newest and best technology: This Championship is the most tech-forward championship on the LPGA Tour.
    • KPMG is adding new AI-enhanced features to KPMG Performance Insights, which provides LPGA players access to critical shot-level data to diagnose and improve their performance and delivers insights to fans and media to see how the players on the LPGA Tour stack up against one another. New for the 2025 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, all players will receive a KPMG Performance Insights Daily Recap that includes:
  • Hole-by-hole AI-powered course analysis: Players will receive a detailed breakdown of how the field performed on each hole that day. For example, if hitting the ball to the right rough on one hole led to a negative strokes gained compared to the left rough, players can alter their strategy on that hole to improve their performance the following day.
  • AI-generated scoring targets: Players will receive a probability range of predicted scores for the cut line during early rounds followed by predicted winning scores over the weekend. For instance, knowing that a score of +2 has a 20% chance of making the cut for the next round will help them decide how aggressive they need to be with their play.

Designed by Gil Hanse, this marks the first women’s major championship played on the East Course. Fields Ranch East will also host the PGA Championship in 2027. Over the last five years, the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship has been contested at three top 100 courses in the United States (Baltusrol, Congressional, Aronimink), tied for the most for any event on the LPGA Tour.
  • Most comprehensive broadcast coverage: The Championship will have the most comprehensive broadcast coverage of any event on the LPGA Tour, with nearly 100 hours of live, streaming and ancillary coverage across NBC, Golf Channel, and Peacock. For the first time, Featured Groups presented by KPMG and T-Mobile for Business will be available on Peacock, allowing fans to follow their favorite players even more closely.
“KPMG’s commitment to excellence extends to women’s golf, and through our collaboration with the PGA of America and LPGA Tour, the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship is the best event on the LPGA Tour,” said Paul Knopp, KPMG U.S. Chair and CEO. “The high purse, top courses, comprehensive broadcast coverage, and technology are all ways we are setting the standard.

PGA of America Golf Professional Brett Walker Wins 2025 Philadelphia PGA Conestoga Classic

Lancaster, Pa. (June 16, 2025) — PGA of America Golf Professional Brett Walker of Chester Valley Golf Club in Malvern, Pa., finished his round with an impressive 7-under-par 63 in less than ideal weather conditions to win the 2025 Philadelphia PGA Conestoga Classic at Conestoga Country Club by two strokes over Waynesborough Country Club’s Kyle Early, PGA, Rolling Green Golf Club’s Braden Shattuck, PGA, and Anthony Sebastianelli, also of Rolling Green.

Play in the tournament, a Rolex / Haverford Trust Company Philadelphia PGA Player of the Year points event, was suspended for approximately 50 minutes due to heavy rain.

Walker, who started his round before the worst of the rain began to fall, kickstarted his round with an eagle three on the par-five first hole, and continued his hot play with six birdies, making only one bogey in the process.

“I played the whole back nine in the pouring rain,” Walker said after his round. “I played really well. I actually hit better shots in the rain, it was weird.”

Walker said he made several long putts, and that it was good to see the ball go in the hole, after having struggled with his putting in recent weeks. He credited visiting fellow PGA Member Michael Little of Clubhouse 54 as a reason he putted better today.

Walker went on to thank his wife Sarah, Chester Valley Golf Club and its members, Conestoga Country Club for hosting, and the Section staff for running the event.

Five PGA Professionals tied for fifth place at 4-under-par: Alex Knoll, Glen Brook Golf Club; Brian Bergstol, Shawnee Inn & Golf Resort; Zach Barbin, Chesapeake Bay Golf Club; Michael Rushin, Bear Trap Dunes; and Dave Quinn, Laurel Creek Country Club.

Dave Quinn took the top prize in the Senior Division, finishing one stroke ahead of Sunnybrook Golf Club’s Mark Sheftic, and the Country Club at Woodloch Spring’s John Pillar. Terry Hertzog, Bent Creek Country Club; tied for fourth place at 1-under-par with Stephen Swartz, Carlisle Country Club.

The Philadelphia Cricket Clubs’ Bill Sautter, PGA, finished atop the Super Senior Division, thanks to his even-par round of 70. He finished one stroke ahead of Wayne Phillips, Lehigh Country Club. PGA Life Member Michael Versuk finished in third place at 3-over-par.

The Philadelphia PGA Section’s Central Counties Chapter hosted an event concurrently with the Conestoga Classic, with Alex Knoll and Brian Bergstol tying for first place. The duo finished one stroke ahead of John Pillar. Two PGA Professionals tied for fourth place: Terry Hertzog and Stephen Swartz.

The Philadelphia Assistants’ Organization (PAO) also held an event at Conestoga, with Kyle Early and Anthony Sebastianell tying for first. Alex Knoll, Brian Bergstol, and Zach Barbin tied for third place, one stroke behind the winners.
