2006 Kraft Nabisco Championship

The 2006 Kraft Nabisco Championship was a women's professional golf tournament played from March 30 – April 2, 2006, at Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage, California. It was the 35th edition of the Kraft Nabisco Championship, and the 24th as a major championship. The purse was $1.8 million, with a winner's share of $270,000.

The champion was Karrie Webb, who defeated Lorena Ochoa in a sudden-death playoff with a birdie on the first extra hole, the par-5 18th. Webb had earlier holed out for an eagle on the same hole to card a 65 (–7) in the final round to force the playoff. Ochoa recorded a 62 (–10) in the first round, but was one over-par for the final 54 holes. One stroke out of the playoff were Natalie Gulbis and Michelle Wie.[1]
