The Legends Tour, formerly known as the Women's Senior Golf Tour before the 2006 season, [1] is a professional golf tour for women aged 45 and older. It is based in the United States, and is an offshoot of the main U.S. based women's tour, the LPGA Tour. The tour was founded in 2001, and is intended to allow women to prolong their competitive golf careers on the model of the successful Champions Tour for men. The age limit is however five years lower than on the Champions Tour.
The tour is still in its development phase. Sixteen events were held in the first six years of operation between 2001 and 2006. In addition a team event, the Handa Cup pitting players from the United States against players from the rest of the world, was introduced in 2006.
According to the Tour's website, the tour has over 100 members, who have collectively won over 600 LPGA Tour events.
