Kraft Nabisco Championship

The LPGA Tour's first major kicks off this week at Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage. Here's all you need to know about it.

BY ELI MILLERPublished: April, 2009

When: Monday, March 30 through Sunday, April 5. The 72-hole tournament begins Thursday, April 2.

Where: The Dinah Shore Tournament Course (par 72, 6,569 yards) at Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage.

Purse: $2 million, with the winner receiving $300,000.

Tickets: A daily weekday pass is $25, a daily weekend pass is $35 and a weeklong pass is $125. Senior and student discounts are available, and active military personnel will be admitted free. Any patron can receive $5 off at the gate by bringing an original UPC bar code from Kraft Foods or Nabisco product. Visit kncstore.com to
purchase tickets.

TV: ESPN2 (Thursday-Saturday), CBS (Sunday).

More info: (760) 324-4546 or visit kncgolf.com.

Last year: Lorena Ochoa blitzed the field with a final-round 67, defeating Annika Sorenstam and Suzann Pettersen by five shots.

Notable: The Kraft Nabisco has made it a tradition to extend invitations to top amateurs. This year, that contingent includes UCLA senior Tiffany Joh, a San Diego native and two-time U.S. Women’s Amateur Public Links champion.

Did you know: From the time the KNC became a major in 1983 until 1999, Sweden’s Helen Alfredsson was the only international champion. But since 2000, only one American — Morgan Pressel — has won in the desert.
