In 1983, the LPGA elevated the Chevron Championship, then known as the Nabisco Dinah Shore, to major status. In some respects, it was similar to the Masters in that the tournament was anchored at Mission Hills Country Club's Dinah Shore Course in Rancho Mirage, California. Since the 1999 playing, though, the tournament has had four name changes and moved to The Club at Carlton Woods' Nicklaus Course in The Woodlands, Texas. Here is a look at the tournament's history that dates to 1972:
Mission Hills Country Club
> 1972-80: Colgate-Dinah Shore Winner’s Circle
> 1981: Colgate-Dinah Shore
> 1982: Nabisco Dinah Shore Invitational
> 1983-99: Nabisco Dinah Shore
> 2000-01: Nabisco Championship
> 2002-14: Kraft Nabisco Championship
> 2015-21: ANA Inspiration
> 2022: Chevron Championship
The Club at Carlton Woods
> 2023-current: Chevron Championship
