Hannah Green has found form at the perfect time on the LPGA Tour, which now turns its focus to The Chevron Championship.
Green just won the JM Eagle LA Championship for the third time in four years, securing her eighth career title.

The Australian lifted the trophy at El Caballero Country Club after defeating Sei Young Kim and Jin Hee Im in a one-hole playoff.
Green now turns her attention to The Chevron Championship at Memorial Park, where her compatriot Min Woo Lee claimed his maiden PGA Tour win in 2025.
She has now shared the advice she has received from the PGA Tour player ahead of the first major championship of the 2026 LPGA Tour season.
Min Woo Lee gives Hannah Green advice about Memorial Park
Revealing details about a call with Lee, Green said in Houston: “Yeah, so Min Woo is obviously really known for how far he hits it off the tee, but he says it himself, he’s probably not the most accurate a player, which is kind of somewhat like me.

“I am probably not the most accurate off the tee. He said the fairways are pretty generous. The rough wasn’t too thick for when they played.
“Going out there my caddie Dave actually caddied in the Houston Open this year, and he said some of the tee boxes are similar to what the men played. For them that’s rather short, for us it’s quite long.
“So in that sense I don’t know if Min Woo and I can relate to the same clubs with our approach shots, but he did say at least it was wide because that’s kind of where I’ve struggled when we played at Carlton Woods.
“Off the tee is kind of where I made up a lot of shots. So, yeah, it was just nice to hear that from Min. Obviously he loves it here. He loves a crowd. Hoping, yeah, people can come out and cheer for us.”

How is Min Woo Lee performing with his driver on the PGA Tour?
Lee was forced to wait quite some time before picking up his first win on the PGA Tour, which arrived at the 2025 Texas Children’s Houston Open.

And it was certainly a hard-fought victory, with the Australian edging out Scottie Scheffler and Gary Woodland by a single shot.
It represents his only career win to date, with his admission about his driving certainly ringing true this season.
Lee is currently ranked 12th for driving distance on the PGA Tour in 2026, but down in 49th for driving accuracy.
Meanwhile Green, who won the Women’s PGA Championship in 2019, missed the cut at The Chevron Championship at Carlton Woods last year.
She will receive plenty of support from Lee this week, but he will undoubtedly be rooting for his sister Minjee Lee to come out on top.
