2022 Chevron Championship

The 2022 Chevron Championship was the 51st Chevron Championship LPGA golf tournament, held March 31 through April 3 at the Dinah Shore Tournament Course of Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage, California. The tournament was in its first year with Chevron Corporation as the title sponsor and its 40th as a major championship. The Golf Channel televised the event for the 12th consecutive year.
