European Seniors Tour

The European Seniors Tour is a professional European tournament series for golfers over 50 years, which is maintained by the European Tour and about 20 tournaments a year, almost exclusively on European soil, deters.

This series was launched in 1992. In the 2006 season, a total prize money of just over € 6.3 million has been played in a total of 17 tournaments. In relation to the U.S. counterpart, the Champions Tour, she is so much worse endowed, as it would make the difference in capital between the world's leading Elite Tournament Series PGA TOUR and European Tour.

The most important tournament of the European Seniors Tour - a so-called Senior Major - is the The Senior Open Championship, which also flows into the rating of the Champions Tour. The other senior majors take place in the U.S. and - with the exception of the U.S. Senior PGA Championship ( since 2007) - not included in the Order of Merit of the European Seniors Tour.
