It’s time for the first women’s major championship of the year.
The 2024 Chevron Championship began Thursday at The Club at Carlton Woods in The Woodlands, Texas, just outside of Houston. Lilia Vu is the defending champion of the event, her first of two major wins last year.
However, the favorite coming in is Nelly Korda, the No. 1 golfer in the world who has won four consecutive LPGA starts heading into the week. However, with all of the best female golfers in the world in the field, it’s going to be a challenge to win her fifth straight.
Here’s a look at the best photos from the 2024 Chevron Championship:
