LPGA Tour: The Chevron Championship 2026

The Chevron Championship returns to Houston for the 2026 season, one of the LPGA Tour's most prestigious events with a substantial $8 million purse. Taking place April 23-26 at Memorial Park Golf Course, this 72-hole stroke play tournament attracts the world's elite female golfers competing for one of professional golf's most coveted titles. The event's rich history and generous prize fund underscore its significance within the women's professional game.

Memorial Park Golf Course will host the championship for the first time, replacing The Club at Carlton Woods, which has been the venue for the past three editions. Nelly Korda claimed the 2025 title at Carlton Woods, continuing a streak of dominance by top-ranked players. Prior winners include Lilia Vu (2024) and Jennifer Kupcho (2023), both of whom also captured victories at the same venue, while Patty Tavatanakit won in 2022 at Mission Hills Country Club. This transition to a new Houston location marks an interesting chapter in the tournament's evolution.

The championship represents a significant opportunity for competitors to secure major championship credentials and substantial prize money on the LPGA Tour's calendar. With Memorial Park's challenging layout set to test the game's best players, expect competitive golf and high drama as the field pursues one of women's professional golf's most distinguished titles.
