Senior British Open Championship
- Senior British Open Championship
The Senior Open Championship, or simply The Senior Open (sometimes referred to as the Senior British Open outside the UK) is a professional golf tournament for men aged 50 and over. It is run by the R&A. Prize money won in the event is official money on both the Champions Tour and the European Seniors Tour. In 2007 the prize fund was £1 million.
The tournament was first held in 1987. In 2003 it was designated as the fifth major championship on the Champions Tour schedule. Winners before 2003 were not retroactively designated as Champions Tour major winners. Winners gain entry into the following season's The Open Championship.
