The Chevron Championship, one of the five majors on the LPGA Tour calendar, was formerly known as the ANA Inspiration (and before that, the Kraft Nabisco Championship). Now, it returns this spring with the promise of elite competition, dramatic storylines, and a shot at history. From April 24–27, 2025, the tournament takes place at The Club at Carlton Woods in The Woodlands, Texas, marking its third consecutive year at this venue since moving from Mission Hills Country Club in California. This prestigious tournament will be contested on the Jack Nicklaus Signature Course, a par-72 layout measuring 6,911 yards.
The 2024 edition saw Nelly Korda rise to the occasion, securing her second career major and becoming the first American to win the Chevron Championship since 2015. Korda’s wire-to-wire performance not only highlighted her star power but also raised the bar heading into this year’s event. As the LPGA Tour continues to gain global attention, the Chevron Championship stands tall as a proving ground for the world’s best. As excitement builds, fans won’t have to look far to follow every shot, thanks to comprehensive coverage across television and streaming platforms.
When and where to watch the Chevron Championship
“The Chevron Championship has always been a tournament where you can see the future of women’s golf. It’s where dreams come true, and the history behind it makes it one of the most important events on the LPGA schedule,” describes Hall of Famer Nancy Lopez.

Who to watch at the 2025 Chevron Championship?
The Jack Nicklaus Signature Course at Carlton Woods is a beast. At 6,911 yards, it demands everything: power, precision, finesse around tricky greens, and sharp strategy.
Playing this field for the 2025 season is expected to be interesting, with a blend of established stars, rising contenders, and past champions. Defending Chevron champion Nelly Korda, who aims to become the first player to successfully defend her title (since Annika Sörenstam in 2002), returns with momentum after a strong early-season run that includes a win at the 2024 Drive On Championship. Also in the spotlight are last year’s Olympic gold medalist Lydia Ko, 2014 champion Lexi Thompson, and local favorite and 2011 champion Stacy Lewis. There’s also Lilia Vu, the golfer who secured her first major title at the Chevron Championship, defeating Angel Yin on the 18th hole.
Unlike some majors, the Chevron Championship occasionally extends sponsor invites to top amateur and collegiate players, offering young talent a stage to challenge the world’s best. Rookie standouts like Carla Bernat Escuder, the Augusta National Women’s Amateur champion; Gianna Clemente, the 2024 AJGA Girls Player of the Year; and Lottie Woad, the current World No. 1 amateur and 2024 Augusta National winner are also at the event which goes beyond crowning a major winner to signal a shift in the LPGA power rankings.
With a $7.9 million purse and crucial Race to the CME Globe points on the line, the stakes couldn’t be higher. From dramatic back-nine charges to sudden-death finishes, the Chevron Championship has delivered unforgettable moments since its inception in 1972. And in 2025, with a packed leaderboard and a spotlight on global talent, this Texas major could once again become a defining moment in the season.
