Congressional Country Club Hosts World's Top Women Golfers

POTOMAC, MD — Congressional Country Club is hosting another major golf tournament as the top women’s players in the world converge on the country club’s newly restored Blue course for the KPMG Women's PGA Championship.

As the rain clears out, course conditions for the KPMG Women's PGA Championship will likely play long Thursday and Friday, but players should be able to aim directly for the pin as they hit many blind approaches to the soggy greens.

By the weekend, as the weather heats up, the course will likely play shorter, but players may need to aim for the bigger part of the green to allow the ball to check up.

The last major tournament played at the course was the 2011 U.S. Open, when Rory McIlroy took home the trophy.

First held in 1955, the Women's PGA Championship is one of five majors on the LPGA Tour. American golfer Nelly Korda is the tournament's defending champion.

The total purse for the 2022 KPMG Women's PGA Championship is $9 million, with the winner getting $1.35 million.

Single-day tickets for the tournament are available for $40 on Thursday and Friday and $45 on Saturday and Sunday. A weekend pass for all four days of the tournament is available for $91.98.

PGA Championship public parking will be complimentary and located at Westfield Montgomery Mall at 7101 Democracy Blvd. in Bethesda. Complimentary shuttle service will be provided to and from the main spectator entrance at Congressional Country Club. There will be no public parking at Congressional Country Club during Championship Week.

If you want to avoid the shuttles, some of Congressional Country Club's neighbors often offer paid parking in their yards for big tournaments.

Spectators who live within walking distance of Congressional Country Club may enter and exit the championship grounds through the volunteer entrance next to the Congressional Country Club bus stop on River Road.

Spectators who wish to bike to the tournament may enter and exit the championship grounds through the Main Entrance on Persimmon Tree Lane. Bike racks will only be available at the main entrance.

All spectator drop-off and pick-up should occur at the rideshare lot in Lot A at Norwood School at 8821 River Rd.

If you leave the grounds, you must have an unscanned ticket to return to the Championship.

For fans who can't make it out to Congressional for the tournament, the first two rounds will be broadcast on the Golf Channel and the final two rounds will be on NBC.
