Annika Sörenstam was a three-peat winner of the event in 2001, 2002 and 2005, which she is the only one to win back-to-back titles at the event.

The Kraft Nabisco Championship is an annual golf competition held at the end of March start of April. It was established in 1972, which it did not become a major championship until 1983, and one of the four women's major championships played each year that includes the LPGA Championship, the U.S. Women's Open, and the Women's British Open.[1] This event has always been conducted in stroke play competition, and is always the first women's major of the year.[1]

Amy Alcott, Betsy King and Annika Sörenstam hold the record for the most victories with three, and Annika Sörenstam with back-to-back wins is the only golfer to accomplish that feat at the Kraft Nabisco Championship.[1] The lowest winning score is Dottie Pepper's 19-under par in 1999.[1]
