RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. — Sunday’s final round of the Chevron Championship will mark the end of a 51-year relationship between the LPGA and its desert home in the Coachella Valley.
The tournament, dripping with history, is always the first major championship on the golf calendar and the winner’s leap into Poppie’s Pond has become a moment that fans remember and players dream of. But starting in 2023, the tournament will move to Houston and likely be played in May.
LPGA veteran Christina Kim has always spoken passionately about causes she believes in and that includes the fate of the desert’s LPGA event.
