European Seniors Tour

European Seniors Tour

The European Seniors Tour is a professional tour for male golfers aged 50 and over run by the PGA European Tour.

The Tour was founded in 1992. In 2007 it had a total prize fund of €8,305,947, so it is much further behind the U.S. based Champions Tour in relative prize money than the main European Tour is behind the PGA Tour. The highest profile seniors event in Europe is the Senior British Open Championship, which is co-sanctioned by the Champions Tour. The European Tour co-sanctions the Senior PGA Championship and the U.S. Senior Open. Prize money in latter does not count towards the Order of Merit, but from 2007 the former is an official money event.
