Who will win their first major championship in 2023? Golfweek’s staff makes its picks

Don’t be surprised if a handful of rising stars step into the spotlight in 2023.

Three of the four major champions on the men’s side in 2022 were first-time winners. As for the women? Two of five.

That got us thinking, who is most likely to add a major championship to their resumes for the first time in 2023? Several writers on Golfweek‘s staff have made their picks, some surprising, some not so much.

Men’s 2023 major venues: Augusta National Golf Club (Masters), Oak Hill Country Club (PGA Championship), Los Angeles Country Club (U.S. Open) and Royal Liverpool (Open Championship).

Women’s 2023 major venues: The Club at Carlton Woods (Chevron Championship), Baltusrol (KPMG PGA Championship), Pebble Beach Golf Links (U.S. Women’s Open), Evian Resort Golf Club (Evian Championship) and Walton Heath Golf Club (AIG Women’s Open).

Looking ahead: 2023 women’s major championship venues, including Pebble Beach

Five majors. Five incredible venues.

For the very first time, the best women golfers in the world are headed to the Monterey Peninsula for the U.S. Women’s Open at Pebble Beach Golf Links. The historic Jack Neville and Douglas Grant design has hosted six U.S. Opens, but in 2023, it’s the ladies’ turn.

Since its inception, the Chevron Championship has been played at Mission Hills. However, the Dinah Shore will take place at a different venue this upcoming season.

Unlike the men who compete in four major championships a year, the women dual it out five times for the largest prizes in golf.

Here’s a breakdown of all five tracks.
