Wendy's Championship for Children
The Wendy's Championship for Children was started in 1999. It was then known as the New Albany Golf Classic. Since then it has been part of the LPGA Tour . From 2006 it came to be known by its present name. However, the tournament will not be held in 2007 due to date problems between the organizers and the LPGA. Till 2001 it was played at the New Albany Country Club but from 2002 the Tartan Fields Golf Club has been its home.
Lorena Ochoa dominated proceedings from the beginning to lift the 2006 Wendy's Championship for Children. She won the event by a comfortable margin of three strokes. She received the winner's cheque of $ 165,000 out of the tournament fund of $ 1.1 million.
