How would you rank Women's Majors?

Would you rank them this way or in a different order?
1. McDonald's LPGA Championship
2. Kraft Nabisco Championship
3. U. S. Women's Open Championship
4. Weetabix Women's British Open
OSCC

I really do not follow ladies professional golf but, from the little I have read and/or heard, the U. S. Open is held in significantly higher esteem than the others.

I rate all 4 womens majors at exactly the same level.
A major is a major.

U.S. Women's has to be #1, followed by the British and then the two "commercial majors." Can you imagine the Walmart Masters? Wierd.

Which ranks #1 is easy - the US Womens Open by a country mile. Oldest, most prestige, contested on classic layouts, run by the blue coats, the only major without a title sponsor, etc.

Picking #4 is easy - the Weetabix Women's British Open major status is a scant 5 years old. But unlike the men's PGA, this one has a chance to move out of the basement.

The McDonalds LPGA is second oldest (1955) and has an impressive roll call of champions. It is worth noting the European Ladies Tour does not recognize it as a major, instead choosing the Evian Masters as the fourth major.

The Kraft Nabisco (nee Dinah Shore) is only 35 years old - 24 as a major - but its always held a special place in the players and fans hearts. Great winners list.

Toss up for 2 & 3 IMO.

The Kraft Nabisco is similar to The Masters in that it's always played at the same course. I would go US Open, British Open, Kraft Nabisco and McDonald's. I rate them like that because the McDonald's isn't a tournament anymore with the officials moving venue because Annika was too good at the first one. Didn't help either as she won by 3 last year. The British is impotant forthe same reasons as the men's British, it's so different from every day golf that you see on the TV that it's must see TV

The other two PGA majors are "brought to you by _________". Same thing just doesn't have the name in the title. Maybe if the Kraft and McDonalds were renamed to follow suit of the PGA it would be more palatable. Maybe they could be named the Kraft the LPGA Masters since like the Masters it was conceived by an individual, Dinah Shore. They could change the McDonalds to the LPGA Players. Of course, that would probably bring all kinds of resentment from many.
