List of Chevron Championship winners explained

The Chevron Championship is an annual women's golf competition. It was established in 1972, and became a women's major championship in 1983.[1] It is one of the five women's majors played each year along with the Women's PGA Championship, the U.S. Women's Open, the Women's British Open, and The Evian Championship.[2] The event has been conducted in stroke play competition since its establishment, and is the first women's major championship on the calendar each year. The event has only been staged at Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage, California.

The champions are presented with the "Dinah Shore Trophy",[3] in honor of Shore, who promoted the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA).[4] In addition, she helped found the Chevron Championship, previously called the ANA Inspiration, and originally called the Colgate Dinah Shore tournament in her honor. Past champions are honored with a plaque on the walk-up to the 18th green that is called the "Dinah's Walk of Champions."[5] Since 1994, champions have taken the plunge into "Poppie's Pond," which is named after the former tournament director Terry Wilcox.[6] This first occurred in 1988, when Amy Alcott took the plunge, as a spontaneous act of celebration.

Amy Alcott, Betsy King, and Annika Sörenstam hold the record for the most victories with three each. Sörenstam is the only player to win back-to-back titles as a major, winning in both 2001 and 2002. As a non-major, Sandra Post won back-to-back titles in 1978 and 1979. The fewest strokes required to complete 72 holes in the tournament's history, and therefore the best winning score, is Dottie Pepper's 269, 19-under-par in 1999. The Chevron Championship has had seven wire-to-wire champions as a major, which are the following: Pat Bradley in 1986, King in 1987, Juli Inkster in 1989, Alcott in 1991, Pat Hurst in 1998, Karrie Webb in 2000, and Patty Tavatanakit in 2021.[7] The current champion is Nelly Korda.
