A world-class lineup of the top women golfers returns to The Club at Carlton Woods to contest the Chevron Championship. Who will rise above the rest and claim the first Major of the year on Sunday?

Nelly Korda returns to defend her title after a two-stroke victory over Maja Stark in 2024.

Past and present Major winners that will tee off on Thursday include Nelly Korda, Lilia Vu, Jennifer Kupcho, Patty Tavatanakit, Jin Young Ko, Pernilla Lindberg, Lydia Ko, Brittany Lincicome, Lexi Thompson, Stacy Lewis, Yani Tseng, Yuka Saso, Allisen Corpuz, Minjee Lee, A Lim Kim, Amy Yang, Ruoning Yin, In Gee Chun, Sei Young Kim, Ashleigh Buhai, Anna Nordqvist, Sophia Popov, Ayaka Furue, Celine Boutier, and
Brooke M. Henderson.

These are our selections that could win the title this weekend. 

Jeeno Thitikul 


Jeeno Thitikul has been in great touch since the start of the year, winning the PIF Saudi Ladies International and placing 3rd at the Honda LPGA Thailand and T2 at the HSBC Women's World Championship.

Thitikul has continued to play well, finishing Championship, T12 at the Blue Bay LPGA, 4th at the Ford Championship, T5 at the T-Mobile Match Play, and T9 at the JM Eagle LA Championship last weekend. 

The number two-ranked golfer has made three appearances at the Chevron Championship, finishing T17 in 2022, T4 in 2023, and 12th in 2024.

Jeeno Thitikul has had four top-five places since her victory this year and will look to go all the way at The Club at Carlton Woods this weekend.

Lydia Ko 


Lydia Ko has been playing well on the LPGA Tour this season, placing 6th at the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions, T48 at the Founders Cup, victory at the HSBC Women's World Championship, T6 at the Ford Championship, and T35 at the T-Mobile Match Play.  

The world's third-ranked player has compiled an excellent record at the Chevron Championship, placing T29 in 2014, T51 in 2015, victory in 2016, T11 in 2017, T20 in 2018, T44 in 2019, 6th in 2020, 2nd in 2021, T25 in 2022, MC in 2023, and T17 in 2024. 

Lydia Ko has tasted success already this season and can make the frame at The Club at Carlton Woods.

Charley Hull


Charley Hull has been in decent nick since the start of the year, placing T19 at the Founders Cup, T8 at the PIF Saudi Ladies International, T4 at the HSBC Women's World Championship, T11 at the Ford Championship, and T28 at the T-Mobile Match Play.

The 29-year-old has a long history at the Chevron Championship, with results of T38 in 2012, T7 in 2014, T26 in 2015, T2 in 2016, T14 in 2017, T6 in 2018, T12 in 2019, T14 in 2021, T25 in 2022, MC in 2023, and T23 in 2024.

Charley Hull has been thereabouts this year and can convert her performances into a victory in Texas.

Yealimi Noh 


Yealimi Noh had the perfect start to 2025 on the LPGA, winning the Founders Cup.

Noh has maintained her level of play since that victory, placing T11 at the Honda LPGA Thailand, T7 at the HSBC Women's World Championship, T6 at the Ford Championship, T17 at the T-Mobile Match Play, and T57 at the JM Eagle LA Championship. 

The 23-year-old has featured four times at the Chevron Championship, finishing T44 in 2020, MC in 2022, MC in 2023, and T9 in 2024.

Yealimi Noh has been achieving excellent results this season and could cause an upset victory in Houston.

Verdict

Jeeno Thitikul has been ultra-consistent lately and will fancy her chances to win at The Club at Carlton Woods this weekend.

Lydia Ko has the form to win her second Chevron Championship in Houston this Sunday.
 
Charley Hull has been thereabouts lately and should enter calculations.

Yealimi Noh has been holding form since her recent LPGA Tour victory and can win in Texas this weekend.
