An elite field of the world's best women's golfers will contest the Chevron Championship at Memorial Park in Houston for the first time this weekend. Who will secure this year's first Major come Sunday?

Mao Saigo returns to defend her title after a playoff victory over Lindy Duncan, Ariya Jutanugarn, Hyo-Joo Kim, and Yin Ruoning in 2025.

Memorial Park is the venue for the Texas Children's Houston Open on the PGA Tour.

Past and present Major winners who will tee off on Thursday include Nelly Korda, Jin-young Ko, Lydia Ko, Jennifer Kupcho, Stacy Lewis, Mao Saigo, Patty Tavatanakit, Lexi Thompson, Yani Tseng, Lilia Vu, Céline Boutier, Ashleigh Buhai, Chun In-gee, Allisen Corpuz, Ayaka Furue, Brooke Henderson, Grace Kim, Minjee Lee, Anna Nordqvist, Yuka Saso, Maja Stark, Miyū Yamashita, Amy Yang, and Yin Ruoning.

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

Hyo-joo Kim

Hyo-joo Kim has been in great shape on the LPGA Tour this season, placing 3rd at the Honda LPGA Thailand, T21 at the HSBC Women's World Championship, victory at the Founders Cup, victory at the Ford Championship, and T13 at the Aramco Championship before withdrawing from the JM Eagle LA Championship.

The world's third-ranked player has compiled a solid record at the Chevron Championship, finishing T11 in 2015, T18 in 2016, T40 in 2017, MC in 2018, T6 in 2019, T28 in 2021, T8 in 2022, 11th in 2023, MC in 2024, and T2 in 2025.

Hyo-joo Kim has been ultra-consistent lately and will fancy her chances to win the title at Memorial Park come Sunday.

Miyu Yamashita

Miyu Yamashita has been in excellent form on the LPGA Tour this season, placing T5 the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions, T18 at the Honda LPGA Thailand, T10 at the HSBC Women's World Championship, T5 at the Fortinet Founders Cup, MC at the Ford Championship, 4th at the Aramco Championship, and T46 at the JM Eagle LA Championship last weekend.

The number five-ranked golfer has featured twice at the Chevron Championship, finishing T17 in 2024 and T30 in 2025.

Miyu Yamashita has had three top-five places this year and will look to go all the way in Houston this weekend.

Hannah Green

Hannah Green has been on top of her game on the LPGA and LET this season,

placing 7th at the Honda LPGA Thailand, victory at the HSBC Women's World Championship, victory at the Women's Australian Open, victory at the Australian WPGA Championship, MC at the Aramco Championship, and victory at the JM Eagle LA Championship.

The world's eighth-ranked golfer has achieved mixed results at the Chevron Championship, finishing T16 in 2016, MC in 2019, T62 in 2020, T14 in 2021, T8 in 2022, MC in 2023, MC in 2024, and MC in 2025.

Hannah Green will start confidently to emerge as the winner at Memorial Park after her recent results.

Nasa Hataoka

Nasa Hataoka has been in solid form since the start of the year, placing T9 at the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions, T6 at the PIF Saudi Ladies International, T18 at the Honda LPGA Thailand, T34 at the Ford Championship, and T9 at the Aramco Championship.

The 27-year-old has contested the Chevron Championship on eight occasions, finishing T48 in 2018, T39 in 2019, T7 in 2020, T67 in 2021, T17 in 2022, T37 in 2023, T13 in 2024, and T52 in 2025.

Nasa Hataoka has been there and thereabouts lately and can get over the finish line in Texas this weekend.

Verdict

The Chevron Championship

Hyo-joo Kim has tasted success twice this season and can make the frame at the Chevron Championship come Sunday.

Miyu Yamashita has been performing well this season and could emerge victorious in Texas this weekend.

Hannah Green has won four titles this year and will be hard to stop in Houston if she replicates those performances.

Nasa Hataoka has the form to win her maiden Major title at Memorial Park this weekend.
