For the second year, the Chevron Championship takes place at The Club at Carlton Woods in Texas, where Lilia Vu claimed her maiden Major title last year.
That was just the start of what was a fantastic breakout year for the American, who went onto win the AIG Women’s Open at Walton Heath as she climbed to the top of the world rankings.
Vu hasn’t quite been at her best so far this year, but there’d be no better way to get back on track than with a third Major title. She’s in a strong group for the first two rounds of her attempt to achieve it, alongside Nelly Korda, who is looking for her fifth straight victory, and two-time Major winner Minjee Lee.
The trio begin at 1.10pm CT (7.10pm BST) on Thursday, with a tee time of 8.10am CT (2.10pm BST) on Friday.
Another group filled with world-class players features Major winners Lexi Thompson, Brooke Henderson and Lydia Ko, with the stars teeing it up at 8.21am CT (2.21pm BST) in the first round, with a tee time of 1.21pm CT (7.21pm BST) in the second round.

After Vu won two of last year’s five Majors, that left Celine Boutier to win the Amundi Evian Championship, Allisen Corpuz to claim the Women’s US Open title and, Ruoning Yin to see off the competition for the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship title, and they have been grouped together for the opening two rounds.
The three start at 12.59pm CT (6.59pm BST) in the first round, before a second round tee time of 7.59am (1.59pm) in the second round.
Below are the notable groups and full tee times for the Chevron Championship.
