The television channels are listed there as well. However, all the news and action surrounding the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship can be accessed at any time through Golf Channel’s livestream.
As far as radio goes, there is usually coverage on golf-centric SiriusXM channels, but local radio often does not host the event. Furthermore, the venue is set to make history with this tournament.
The Lower Course at Baltusrol Golf Club is hosting the KPMG Women's PGA Championship for the first time. It's just the third time in women's major championship history that this particular course has hosted a tournament at all. It has earlier played home to the US Women's Open twice, but not since 1985.
This particular venue hosts men's and women's tournaments. In total, it has seen seven US Opens in 1903, 1915, 1936, 1954, 1967, 1980, and 1993. Baltusrol also hosted the U.S. Women's Open in 1961 and 1985.
It will host this year as well as in 2029, so it's going to continue to be a key location to watch for the golfing world as the women's game continues to grow.
