When Judy Rankin won at Mission Hills in 1976, the tournament now called the ANA Inspiration was the Colgate-Dinah Shore Winner's Circle.
The event that started in 1972 and became a major in 1983, has had five other names - the Colgate-Dinah Shore (1981), Nabisco Dinah Shore Invitational (1982), Nabisco Dinah Shore (1983-99), Nabisco Championship (2000-01) and Kraft Nabisco Championship (2002-14).
As Golf Channel's lead LPGA Tour analyst, Rankin knows it won't be easy to always get the name right on the tournament broadcasts.
