HOUSTON — The Chevron Championship, the LPGA Tour’s first major of the year, is moving to Memorial Park, just four weeks after the public course hosts the Houston Open on the PGA Tour.
The Chevron Championship had been played at The Club at Carlton Woods, a Jack Nicklaus suburban club about 40 miles north of Houston, since relocating in 2023. The move to Memorial Park was to bring the tournament closer to Chevron’s headquarters and to downtown Houston.
“For more than a century, Houston has been central to Chevron’s story,” Laura Lane, the chief corporate affairs officer for Chevron, said in a news release. “Collaborating with Memorial Park allows us to honor that legacy while advancing our commitment to women’s golf and giving back to the community.”
Tom Doak redesigned Memorial Park, and it returned to hosting the Houston Open in 2020, first in the fall portion of the PGA Tour’s schedule and then moving to the spring in 2024.
The Houston Open is March 26-29. The Chevron Championship will be played April 23-26. It was not clear if the LPGA would be using any of the infrastructure in place for the PGA Tour event.
