Frisco officially took center stage in the world of golf as the 2025 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship kicked off on June 19 on Fields Ranch East at PGA Frisco. The championship is one of the five Majors on the Ladies Professional Golf Association Tour, and for the first time, it will be held in Frisco.
The 2025 field includes many of the sport’s biggest names, including Nelly Korda, Lydia Ko and defending champion Amy Yang. Rising stars like Rose Zhang and Charley Hull will also be on the hunt for one of the most coveted titles in women’s golf.
Teeing Off For Texas
Texas native Katelyn Sepmoree started the day bright and early with the first tee shot. A proud Tyler local, Sepmoree was born and raised in the East Texas city, spent four years in Austin playing for the University of Texas, and now serves as the First Assistant PGA Golf Professional at Willow Brook Country Club in her hometown.
“When I was told that I was going to hit the first tee shot there was someone I work with on my mental side and we just game strategized what to expect,” Sepmoree said ahead of the championship. “My biggest mindset this week is control — what I can control, and that's just my attitude and my preparation, and then once the gun goes off, it's trusting that preparation.”
Sepmoree is one of 10 PGA of America and LPGA Golf Professionals part of the Corebridge Financial Team, who are fulfilling a dream as they compete in the 2025 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship at Fields Ranch East alongside the best women golfers in the world.
“I'm proud to be here and represent the North Texas section and PGA of America,” Sepmoree added.
Texas has long been a stronghold for golf, and in recent years, the women’s game has flourished across the state. In 2024, over 7 million women and girls played golf on courses nationwide, the highest number since 2019. Texas accounts for more than half a million of those players, and more than 20 LPGA Tour professionals either call the Lone Star State home or have roots here.
The Local Impact
The economic ripple effect of PGA Frisco goes far beyond the dates of the tournament itself. As Local Profile previously reported, PGA Frisco has the potential to generate $2.5 billion for the local economy over the next 20 years.
The numbers from past events speak for themselves. The 2023 KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship injected more than $4 million into Frisco’s economy, and the 2025 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship is expected to surpass that. “These events are a major driver for the community,” Ashley Miller, general chair for the championship, previously told
“It’s not just about the tournament, it’s about the long-term benefits for Frisco and its residents.”
