The Chevron Championship is back in action.
The LPGA announced its 2026 competition schedule Wednesday ahead of the season-ending CME Group Tour Championship in Naples, Fla., and one notable observation is that Chevron will be the venue.

Chevron has been contested at the Club at Carleton Woods in The Woodlands, Texas, each of the past three seasons after leaving longtime host Mission Hills in Rancho Mirage, California. The LPGA announced the April 23-26 major will be held in the Houston area, but Golfweek reports it will head to Memorial Park, where the PGA Tour’s Texas Children’s Houston Open will be held.
Although updated prize money for all five majors has not yet been announced, the LPGA has increased non-major prize money to more than $132 million, including an increase from 10 tournaments. The Fortinet Founders Cup ($3 million) and Buick LPGA Shanghai ($3.2 million) each boast increases of more than $1 million.
With the Black Desert Championship in Ivins, Utah removed from the schedule, the number of tournaments including the Solheim Cup will be 31, down from 32 last year.
