The 2007 Kraft Nabisco Championship was the 36th Kraft Nabisco Championship, held March 29 to April 1 at Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage, California, southeast of Palm Springs. This was the 25th edition of the event as a major championship and the total purse was $2 million, with a winner's share of $300,000.
The champion was Morgan Pressel at 285 (–3), one stroke ahead of runners-up Brittany Lincicome, Catriona Matthew, and 54-hole co-leader Suzann Pettersen. Pressel shot a final round 69 (–3) to gain her first victory on the LPGA Tour and became the youngest-ever winner of an LPGA major at 18 years, 313 days. The low amateur was collegian Stacy Lewis, a redshirt junior at Arkansas who carded a final round 70 (–2) and finished two strokes behind, in a four-way tie for fifth.
The 36-hole co-leaders at 140 (–4) were world number two Lorena Ochoa and number five Paula Creamer, with Petterson and first round leader Shi-Hyun Ahn a stroke back; all four were in search of their first major. Ochoa made a quadruple-bogey at 17 on Saturday, and Creamer shot 78 (+6) on Sunday. Top-ranked Annika Sorenstam made the cut, but just barely at 151 (+7).
