About The Chevron Championship 2027

Golf's early-season women's major kicks off with a Wednesday evening start, a scheduling quirk that shapes the whole week's rhythm for players and spectators alike. Crowds follow the leaderboard across a municipal course reworked for tournament play, watching short-game precision decide who contends for the title.

Expect long practice-round build-up, a buzz around the clubhouse, and galleries thickening as the weekend nears. Spring weather adds its own variable, with heat and wind often becoming part of the story.

Where to stay nearby

Houston is the obvious base, just 7km from Memorial Park and offering by far the widest hotel choice, with roughly 180 properties to pick from across the city. Pasadena sits about 23km out and gives a quieter, more residential alternative with a handful of hotels. Sugar Land, some 25km from the course, rounds out the options for those happy with a longer drive in exchange for a calmer stay. All three require a car or taxi to reach the venue, so factor in the drive time and Houston's traffic patterns when planning each day.

History

The Chevron Championship is one of the five majors in women's golf and the first of the season, the spring opener on the LPGA Tour. It began life in 1972 as the Colgate-Dinah Shore, named for the entertainer and keen golfer Dinah Shore, and was granted major status in 1983. For decades it was played at Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage, California, where it gave the sport one of its most joyful traditions: the winner's leap into the lake beside the 18th green, known as Poppie's Pond.

In 2023 the tournament moved to the Greater Houston area under its Chevron title, carrying the champion's celebratory dive to Texas. Its list of winners reads as a history of the women's game, from Amy Alcott and Betsy King to Annika Sorenstam and Lorena Ochoa. Held in the spring, it sets the tone for the major season and draws the world's leading players to compete for one of the game's most coveted titles.
