Senior Players Championship
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Senior Players Championship is one of the major championships in men's senior golf. Unlike the U.S. Senior Open and the Senior PGA Championship and the Senior British Open, it is not recognised 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.
