The Chevron Championship, the LPGA's first major, is officially changing venues, representing the latest in a series of big moves by the tour.
golf.comHere’s the latest on The Chevron Championship (LPGA major).
-
The Chevron Championship has extended its title sponsorship through 2029, and the event purse for 2024 rose to $7.9 million, with a winner’s prize around $1.2 million. This is part of Chevron’s long-term commitment to elevate the major and support players, including a higher missed-cut stipend.[1][2][3]

The increased prize pool makes The Chevron Championship the richest major on the LPGA Tour in 2024, with the majors collectively totaling over $45 million in official prize money for that year.[2][1]
-
The event remains the LPGA Tour’s first major of the season, staged at Mission Hills Country Club (Rancho Mirage, California) under Chevron’s sponsorship through 2029. The partnership emphasizes growth for the tour and opportunities for young players through the LPGA Foundation and related programs.[1]

If you’d like, I can pull the most current news articles from specific outlets (e.g., LPGA site, Golf Channel, or major golf outlets) and summarize any winners, leaderboard moves, or course changes from the latest Chevron Championship edition. Also, I can provide a brief timeline of the sponsorship extension and prize-purse milestones if that would help.[9]
