Overview

  • Organizers set 2026 dates with the PGA Tour’s Houston Open on March 26–29 and the LPGA major on April 23–26, four weeks apart.
  • Memorial Park, a Tom Doak redesign, has hosted the Houston Open since 2020 and moved to a spring slot in 2024.
  • Chevron, the title sponsor since 2022, and the LPGA said the relocation strengthens community ties and fan access in Houston.
  • City leaders and the Astros Golf Foundation welcomed the announcement as a boost to Houston’s sports profile and local engagement.
  • Event planners have not said whether LPGA operations will reuse Houston Open infrastructure, and the winner’s leap tradition from Mission Hills cannot continue because the 18th at Memorial Park has no water.
