Three Events Remain for LPGA Tour Pros to Qualify for The Chevron Championship

Final spots in 132-player field remain up for grabs as the Tour heads to the West Coast

With just over a month to go before The Chevron Championship, LPGA Tour professionals have three opportunities left to play their way into the field for the first major championship on their competitive calendar.

From April 18-21, The Club at Carlton Woods will welcome the best female golfers on the planet to compete for one of the crown jewels in the sport – the Dinah Shore Trophy – and the chance to etch their name into golf history.

Coming out of the three-leg Asian Swing that saw the LPGA Tour visit Thailand, Singapore and the People’s Republic of China, the field for The Chevron Championship is starting to come into shape. Bailey Tardy clinched a berth in the major field after becoming a Rolex First-Time Winner at last week’s Blue Bay LPGA played on China’s Hainan Island. She joins past major champions Patty Tavatanakit, a Thai native who won the Honda LPGA Thailand, and Hannah Green, the Australian winner of the HSBC Women’s World Championship, as LPGA Tour winners of the Spring Asian Swing.

Players who have yet to lock in a spot in the 132-player field can play their way in with a win or through the Race to the CME Globe standings going into The Chevron Championship. Canadian rookie Savannah Grewal vaulted up the standings with her tie for fourth in China and is prime position to reach the Chevron field, currently sitting tied for 20th in the Race.

With players from more than 20 countries in the provisional field as it stands today, The Chevron Championship 2024 promises to feature a global field when it tees off in The Woodlands on April 18.

“Chevron is proud to be a global company, and we look forward to welcoming multinational players to Houston,” said Josetta Jones, Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer at Chevron. “The Greater Houston area attracts people from around the world – at least 145 languages are spoken here every day.  With several diversity- and STEM-focused activations at the championship, we will be celebrating diversity on and off the course.”

Prior to heading to Texas, the LPGA Tour hits the West Coast for a trio of tournaments over the next month, starting with the FIR HILLS Seri Pak Championship in Palos Verdes Estates, Calif., on March 21-24. The Tour then heads to the Valley of the Sun for the Ford Championship presented by KCC, taking place March 28-31 in Phoenix, before heading to Las Vegas for the T-Mobile Match Play presented by MGM Rewards on April 3-7.

In addition to welcoming the best of the best on the LPGA Tour, The Chevron Championship has a tradition of providing bright young amateur players with an opportunity to showcase their talent and a pathway to the professional level. Chevron offers six spots for qualifying amateurs from key international amateur tournaments.

Four amateur spots have already been secured by Chun-Wei Wu of Chinese Taipei, winner of the 2024 Women’s Amateur Asia-Pacific; Germany’s Chiara Horder, winner of the 2023 Women’s Amateur Championship; America’s Megan Schofill, winner of the 2023 U.S. Women’s Amateur Championship; and Argentina’s Ela Anacona, winner of the 2024 Women’s Latin America Amateur Championship. The remaining amateur spots will be awarded in April to the winners of the Augusta National Women’s Amateur and the Chevron Silverado Showdown.

Additionally, Texas native Angela Stanford has received an exemption to play in The Chevron Championship. Stanford, a member of the LPGA Tour since 2001, will compete in her 98th consecutive major championship, the longest active major streak in professional golf.
