The 2024 KPMG Women's PGA Championship was the 70th Women's PGA Championship. It was played June 20–23 at Sahalee Country Club in Sammamish, Washington, a suburb east of Seattle. It was the third of five major championships on the LPGA Tour during the 2024 season.

Sahalee hosted the PGA Championship in 1998, the U.S. Senior Open in 2010, and the Women's PGA Championship in 2016, where Brooke Henderson won in a playoff over Lydia Ko.

Amy Yang won her first major by three strokes over Ko Jin-young, Lilia Vu, and Miyū Yamashita.[2]
