The Senior PGA Championship

The most historic and prestigious event in senior golf, the Senior PGA Championship was born in 1937 and was played that initial year at Augusta (Ga.) National Golf Club, at the suggestion of renowned amateur Bobby Jones. Today, the Senior PGA Championship brings both the legends of the game and the newest members of senior professional golf to new audiences throughout the United States.
