Dr. Melbourne, FL 32935 4 The Senior PGA TOUR: r"' His tory and Format Labron Harris, Jr. Administrator Senior PGA TOUR Interest expressed by senior players during 1979 led to the establishment, in 1980, of the Senior PGA TOUR. Preliminary discussions held during the 1979 PGA Seniors Championship led to the formation of a Senior Advisory Council. The Council members for 1980 included Dan Sikes, Chairman, Sam Snead, Honorary Chairman, Julius Bores, Gardner Dickinson, Bob Goalby, Don January and Bob Rosburg. This council met on January 16. 1980, at Ponte Vedra, FL, and established recommendations as to eligibility and tournament format which would assure the participation of leading players in Senior PGA TOUR tournaments. Recommendations of the Senior Advisory Council were accepted by the Tour- nament Policy Board of the PGA TOUR, and the Senior PGA TOUR made its debut with the $125,000 Atlantic City Seniors International, at the Atlantic City Country Club in Atlantic City, NJ, June 19-22. At the recommendation of the Senior Advisory Council, eligibility for Senior PGA TOUR competition was established on two criteria: leadership in career earnings, and leadership in career victories. With players made eligible by these rules, the basic format for Senior PGA TOUR competition was established to include a field of 50 players, with 40 players to be determined by the two eligibility criteria and 10 players selected by tournament sponsors and through qualifying competitions. The basic format also provides for a two-day Pro-Am event on Thursday and Friday with the formal 54-hole competition Friday through Sunday with the second round of the Pro-Am counting as the first round of the official competition. Administrator of the Senior PGA TOUR is Labron Harris, who also serves as Director of Tournament Administration for the PGA TOUR. Inquiries about the Senior PGA TOUR may be addressed to Harris in care of the PGA TOUR, Sawgrass, Ponte Vedra, FL 32082.

    Media Release For Immediate Release | August 21, 2019 GOLF CANADA AND LPGA TOUR SHARE EXCITEMENT HEADING INTO 2019 CP WOMEN’S OPEN - News and notes from Magna Golf Club for Wednesday, August 21st - AURORA, Ont. – Golf Canada’s CEO, Laurence Applebaum, is already thrilled with how tournament week has unfolded at Magna Golf Club and the 2019 CP Women’s Open hasn’t even officially begun. On Wednesday, Applebaum and LPGA Tour commissioner Mike Whan spoke with media, and the pair were full of praise for Canadian golf fans and tournament partners, so far this week. “This is a week we've been looking forward to for a long time,” said Applebaum. “Ever since Brooke (Henderson) hoisted our national championship trophy a year ago in Wascana, we knew we'd be coming to a spectacular golf club (this year), with an amazing turnout for the week ahead, and we couldn't be more excited to watch Brooke as well as all our 15 Canadians who are in the draw along with 96 out of the top 100 LPGA Tour players. “We're so thankful the LPGA Tour has made this such an important stop on their global tour.” Whan, who played in the Championship Pro-Am Wednesday alongside Applebaum in a group with Golf Canada Young Pro Squad member Maddie Szeryk and Augusta National Women’s Amateur Championship winner Jennifer Kupcho, said the experience at the CP Women’s Open this week at Magna Golf Club has been nothing short of spectacular. “This is elite. It has been elite for a long time,” Whan said of the CP Women’s Open.
