2017 Women's PGA Championship

The 2017 KPMG Women's PGA Championship was the 63rd Women's PGA Championship, played June 29 – July 2 at Olympia Fields Country Club in Olympia Fields, Illinois, a suburb south of Chicago. Known as the LPGA Championship through 2014, it was the second of five major championships on the LPGA Tour during the 2017 season.

Danielle Kang won the championship for her first professional win, one stroke ahead of defending champion Brooke Henderson.
