# Women's PGA Championship

Het LPGA Championship is een jaarlijks golftoernooi voor de dames en tevens een major, dat deel uitmaakt van de LPGA Tour. Het toernooi werd opgericht in 1955 en wordt jaarlijks gehouden in de Verenigde Staten. Het toernooi staat ook op de kalender van de Ladies European Tour, maar die erkent dit toernooi niet als een "major".
Het LPGA Championship is na het US Women's Open, opgericht in 1946, het oudste actieve toernooi van de LPGA Tour. Sinds de oprichting vindt het toernooi jaarlijks plaats op verschillende golfbanen in de Verenigde Staten.
De andere vier majors zijn het Chevron Championship, het US Women's Open, het Women's Open en The Evian Championship.
