Chevron Championship
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.

- 1972-1981: Colgate Dinah Shore
- 1982-1999: Nabisco Dinah Shore
- 2000-2001: Nabisco Championship

The next tournament will be held from March 26 through April 1, 2007.
