WTA Tour Championship
Originally the Virginia Slims Championships from 1971-94. The WTA Tour's
year-end tournament took place in March from 1972 until 1986 when the WTA
decided to adopt a January-to-November playing season. Given the changeover,
two championships were held in 1986. Held every year since 1979 at Madison
Square Garden in New York.
Multiple winners: Martina Navratilova (8); Steffi Graf (5); Chris
Evert (4); Monica Seles (3); Evonne Goolagong and Gabriela Sabatini (2).
