The Champions Tour has been designed especially for professional men players over the age of fifty and nearly all of the seasons tournaments bar one or two, are held in the United States. The Charles Schwab Cup Championship is contested by a small field of thirty players over four rounds and there is no half way cut. The purse for this year’s tournament is $2.5million, with the winner getting $440,000.

The event was won by Andy Beane from the United States in 2008 with a score of 268, 20 under par. Other winners in recent years include Jim Thorpe, Tom Watson and mark McNulty.

The Champions Tour was formerly established in 1980 and was known at the time, and until October 2002, as the Senior PGA Tour. There are 26 tournaments throughout the season and most are held over three rounds and 54 holes. This is the reason why there are normally no cuts in these events, however, there are five senior major’s during the course of the season, and these do have four rounds of 72 holes. The leading money winner so far this season is Germany’s Bernhard Langer who has participated in eighteen events and has amassed $1, 971, 051 (up until October 18^th 2009).
