The Senior Open Championship

Tour: Senior Amateur Tour

Rounds: 2

The Senior Amateur Tour is a golf organization that promotes the sport by providing strokeplay tournaments in a fair and friendly competitive environment for senior amateur golfers aged 50 and older of all skill levels. The Senior Amateur Tour was established by Dennis McCormac in 1999. The 2025 season is the 28th season of the tour. The tour has 25 Local Tours across the country and hosted more than 365 tournaments in 2025. The tour season runs from the beginning of January to the end of September. Each of the 25 Local Tours hosts 10 to 15 tournaments. Home tour members earn points based on their finishing position within each flight, which ranges from Champ through D. Members may also play in events hosted by other Local Tours and special regional tournaments to earn points. At the end of the season, the flight leaders in the points standings from each Local Tour are invited to compete in the Senior Amateur Tour National Championship in Hilton Head, South Carolina. In 2025, more than 470 senior amateurs competed in the two-day, 36-hole National Championship. The 2026 National Championship is scheduled for October 21 and 22.
