    The P&G Beauty NW Arkansas Championship, in full the P&G Beauty NW Arkansas Championship presented by WalMart is a golf tournament for professional female golfers that is part of the LPGA Tour. It was first played in 2007 in Rogers, Arkansas at Pinnacle Country Club.

    In 2008 Procter & Gamble, a manufacturer of a wide range of consumer goods, with headquarters in Cincinnati, Ohio, became the title sponsor of the tournament.

    In 2007 only 18 holes were played due to inclement weather making it an "unofficial tournament." An LPGA tournament must be at least 36 holes to quality as official. Amateur Stacy Lewis who was leading after 18 holes was declared the unofficial winner. The tournament purse was split in half and all professionals who finished received winnings based on 50% of what they would have earned had the tournament been completed. Because Lewis was an amateur she received no earnings. All earnings by LPGA members were considered unofficial.
