Elite Field Headlines Prestigious LPGA Event
The Woodlands, Texas (April 21, 2024) - The Chevron Championship, one of the five major championships on the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) Tour, is set to electrify The Club at Carlton Woods once again. The tournament returns with a star-studded field of 132 players, including 10 of the top 10 in the Rolex Women's World Rankings. "We're thrilled to welcome the LPGA's best to The Club at Carlton Woods," said tournament director Jeff Raeside. "This year's field is exceptional, promising an exciting and unforgettable spectacle for golf enthusiasts." The tournament boasts a total purse of $79 million, making it one of the most lucrative events on the LPGA Tour. Defending champion Nelly Korda is poised to make history if she emerges victorious. A win would place her alongside Annika Sorenstam and Cristie Kerr as the only players to have won five consecutive titles on the LPGA Tour. Korda, who has been in sensational form this season, will face stiff competition from a host of talented players. Rolex Women's World Ranking No. 1 Lydia Ko, 2023 U.S. Women's Open champion Mina Harigae, and rising star Atthaya Thitikul are among the contenders to keep an eye on. "The Chevron Championship is a testament to the incredible growth and popularity of women's golf," said LPGA Commissioner Mollie Marcoux Samaan. "We're proud to partner with Chevron and The Club at Carlton Woods to showcase the extraordinary talent and determination of our athletes." The Chevron Championship will be held from April 20-23, 2024, at The Club at Carlton Woods. Fans can purchase tickets and find more information at the tournament website.
