Annika Sörenstam won the event in 2001, 2002 and 2005; she is the only winner of consecutive Kraft Nabisco Championships as a major championship.

The ANA Inspiration[a] is an annual women's golf competition. It was established in 1972, and became a women's major championship in 1983. It is one of the four women's majors played each year along with the LPGA Championship, the U.S. Women's Open, and the Women's British Open.[1][2] The event has been conducted in stroke play competition since its establishment, and is the first women's major championship on the calendar each year. The event has only been staged at Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage, California.[1]

The champions are presented with the "Nabisco Dinah Shore Trophy," in honor of Shore, who promoted the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA).[3] In addition, she helped found the Kraft Nabisco Championship, which was originally called the Colgate Dinah Shore tournament in her honor. Past champions are honored with a plaque on the walk-up to the 18th green that is called the "Dinah's Walk of Champions."[4] Since 1994, champions have taken the plunge into "Poppie's Pond," which is named after the former tournament director Terry Wilcox.[5] This first occurred in 1988, when Amy Alcott took the plunge, as a spontaneous act of celebration.[5]

Amy Alcott, Betsy King, and Annika Sörenstam hold the record for the most victories with three each. Sörenstam is the only player to win back-to-back titles as a major, winning in both 2001 and 2002.[1] As a non-major, Sandra Post won back-to-back titles in 1978 and 1979.[1] The fewest amount of strokes required to complete 72 holes in the tournament's history, and therefore the best winning score, is Dottie Pepper's 269, 19-under-par in 1999.[1] The Kraft Nabisco Championship has had six wire-to-wire champions as a major, which are the following: Pat Bradley in 1986, King in 1987, Juli Inkster in 1989, Alcott in 1991, Pat Hurst in 1998, and Karrie Webb in 2000.[6] The current champion is Inbee Park.[1]
