The Kraft Nabisco Championship is one of the four major golf tournaments for women on the LPGA Tour. It was founded in 1972 by Dinah Shore and has been classified as a major since 1983. The annual tournament is held at the Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage, California.
With a purse exceeding $2 million, the winner of this tournament automatically qualifies for the season-ending LPGA Tour Championship.
Tournament names through the years:
* 1972-1981: Colgate Dinah Shore
* 1982-1999: Nabisco Dinah Shore
* 2000-2001: Nabisco Championship
* 2002-present: Kraft Nabisco Championship
The tournament is still sometimes called the Dinah Shore, even though Shore's name was removed from the tournament title in 2000.
