The 2024 Chevron Championship was the 53rd Chevron Championship LPGA golf tournament, held April 18–21 in Texas at The Club at Carlton Woods in The Woodlands, a suburb north of Houston. In its third year with Chevron Corporation as the title sponsor, it was the tournament's 42nd year as a major championship.
