The Kraft Nabisco Championship (originally the
Colgate/Dinah Shore Winner's Circle 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.
The weekend is still sometimes called the Dinah Shore Weekend, even
though Shore's name was removed from the tournament title not long after her
death in 1994.
