Kent Paisley and Scottie "Worldwide" Leonard preview the 2026 KPMG Women's PGA Championship from Hazeltine National — where Worldwide is on the bag this week and Kent returns to the site of Hannah Green's 2019 win, a result he frames as a changing-of-the-guard moment for the LPGA. Worldwide brings the caddie's-eye view: course setup, a wet forecast softening the greens, why length will be at a premium, and a little intel from the champions' dinner. Kent brings the analyst's lens, tracing Hazeltine's history from Inbee Park's dominance to defending champion Minjee Lee, then unpacking the Solheim Cup math — points vs. world rankings, captain's picks, and the three-major summer that will decide Anna Nordqvist's European and Angela Stanford's American rosters. Along the way: the duo's running KPMG poker draft (pool only — no picks spoiled here), a debate over which players most need a strong stretch, and a reminder of how far the women's game has come, from a $3.85M purse in 2019 to $13M today. With the season's poker crown on the line, the bragging rights have never mattered more.
