RYE, New York — The partnership between the LPGA and the PGA of America that forged this week's Women's PGA Championship aimed to raise the profile of a longstanding women's major.
With 156 players poised to start the season's second major on Thursday at renowned Westchester Country Club, $3.5 million in prize money and network television coverage in place, the former LPGA Championship looks to be on the ascent.
A parallel goal was met on Wednesday as the KPMG Leadership Summit brought together nearly 300 up-and-coming businesswomen for a day-long conference on how to rise in the corporate world.
