- ANA Inspiration becomes Chevron Championship in March 2022
- Chevron based in Houston but no venue chosen yet for 2023
News of a welcome and substantial boost in prize money for the first women’s major of the golfing year has arrived with the not inconsequential footnote of no host venue being in place after 2022.
The Chevron Championship will be the new name of the ANA Inspiration, which will be held in its traditional location of Mission Hills in California from 31 March next year. The plan is for the event to subsequently shift to Houston, base for more than 8,000 Chevron staff. Yet for now there is a bizarre lack of clarity, including over a move to later in spring after a deal was agreed for network television coverage. Chevron has agreed a six-year partnership.
