2013 Spring Internship Program

Golf’s First Major

TOURNAMENT OVERVIEW

The Kraft Nabisco Championship is golf’s first major and one of the LPGA Tour’s most prestigious events. Founded in 1972 by David Foster and Dinah Shore, the Kraft Nabisco Championship earned the designation as a major tournament in 1983.

April 1 – 7, 2013 will be the 42nd time this event has been contested at Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage, Calif. Since its inception, the Championship holds the distinction of being the second oldest golf tournament continuously held at the same course.

For many, the event is most distinguished by one of golf’s most beloved traditions: the champion’s leap into Poppie’s Pond, located adjacent to the 18th green. The champion’s leap into Poppie’s Pond has become one of the most anticipated and memorable traditions in golf.
