Chevron U.S.A. Inc. and the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) Tour today announced The Chevron Championship will move to the City of Houston’s Memorial Park Golf Course in Houston, Texas. The relocation marks a new chapter for the LPGA Tour’s first major of the season by bringing the event closer to Chevron’s new corporate headquarters and the center of downtown Houston.
Redesigned by renowned architect Tom Doak, the venue offers top-tier facilities and a welcoming experience for both players and fans, ensuring the continued success of one of the most esteemed events in women’s golf — the LPGA’s first major of the year.
“The Chevron Championship’s move to Memorial Park Golf Course demonstrates our continued commitment to growing the game of women’s golf and expanding our presence in the City of Houston,” said Laura Lane, chief corporate affairs officer for Chevron. “For more than a century, Houston has been central to Chevron’s story. Collaborating with Memorial Park allows us to honor that legacy while advancing our commitment to women’s golf and giving back to the community.”
The course’s proximity to downtown Houston and Chevron’s headquarters will continue to make it easy for fans, community partners and employees to attend the tournament and participate in its numerous community-focused initiatives. Memorial Park is also home to the Chevron Center for Education and Golf, where young Houstonians learn about STEM concepts through the game of golf.
“Chevron’s partnership continues to set a standard for what it means to invest in women’s golf — not just as a championship, but as a platform to inspire and grow the game,” said Craig Kessler, LPGA commissioner. “Moving The Chevron Championship to Memorial Park Golf Course strengthens that vision. It brings the event closer to the heart of Houston, connecting more fans and communities to our athletes, and helping ensure this major — a tradition that began in 1972 — continues to shine as one of the game’s most meaningful stages.”
“Houston is proud to deepen our partnership with Chevron by welcoming The Chevron Championship to Memorial Park. This move celebrates our shared sports legacy while showcasing the city’s bright future,” said John Whitmire, mayor of Houston. “Bringing this world-class event to Houston strengthens our position as a premier sports destination and creates opportunities to inspire the next generation through the game of golf.”
“Hosting The Chevron Championship, the LPGA’s first major of the year, at the City of Houston’s Memorial Park Golf Course underscores our commitment to providing a world-class fan and player experience that serves the larger Houston community and continues to showcase our great city to the world,” said Jim Crane, chairman of the Astros Golf Foundation. “The Astros Golf Foundation is proud to work alongside Chevron and the LPGA to amplify this major tournament and help more Houstonians experience world-class events in the heart of the city. This event will highlight the incredible talent of the LPGA, and advance the growth and reach of women’s golf — a mission we are proud to support.”
