- Senior Players Championship
-
The Senior Players Championship is one of the five major championships on golf's Champions Tour. Unlike the U.S. Senior Open, the Senior PGA Championship and the Senior British Open, it is not recognized as a major by the European Seniors Tour, and is not part of that tour's schedule. The inaugural event was in 1983. The lower age limit is 50, which is the standard limit for men's senior professional golf tournaments. The winner gains entry into the following season's The Players Championship.
In recent years, the event has hosted the Larry Gilbert Memorial Pro-Am, which gave local junior golfers the chance to play a nine hole scramble with the professional competitors. It is unknown whether or not the Pro-Am continued at the tournament's new location.
