Sei Young Kim looks to defend her major title from October this week at the Atlanta Athletic Club’s Highlands Course in Johns Creek, Georgia — the host site of this week’s KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, a major on the LPGA.

The layout originally was designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr. and Joe Finger, who each designed nine of the holes, with Jones’ nine opening in 1967 and Finger’s addition in 1971. Rees Jones, son of the original architect, has worked on the club’s courses since 1994 and renovated the Highlands in 2006 and again in 2016.

All are competing for a share of the $4.5 million purse. Kim won the pandemic-delayed 2020 event by five strokes at 14-under par at Aronimink Golf Club. Nelly Korda comes in off a win at last week’s Meijer LPGA Classic in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
