Remembering "The Dinah"

While the tournament formerly known as The Dinah gets ready to start this week under yet another name--the ANA Inspiration--Bill Fields files a nice remembrance to ESPNW recalling how the tournament evolved and its most famous tradition came into play.

There was also this, which is a reminder that the purse was once the biggest in women's golf before the event became a major:

LPGA legend Mickey Wright came out of retirement in 1973 to win the event that was then -- and still -- referred to by many as "The Dinah" even though the entertainer's name was controversially removed from the title in 2000. Wright's victory presaged a trend: Just as most of the finest male golfers have tended to win the Masters in their careers, the best female golfers of their eras have prevailed at Mission Hills.
