The 'Dinah' leaving desert for Houston as LPGA major gets new sponsor in Chevron

Next year will be the final leap into "Poppie's Pond," ending 40 years of the only LPGA major held on the same course and still known in some corners simply as the Dinah Shore.

The LPGA Tour announced Tuesday that Chevron is taking over as title sponsor of the year's first major starting in 2023 with plans to move it from the California desert to company headquarters in Houston.

It would replace the ANA Inspiration in a six-year deal. Japan-based ANA has been title sponsor at Mission Hills in Rancho Mirage, California, since 2015.

The tournament celebrated 50 years at Mission Hills in April.
