About PGA TOUR Champions:

PGA TOUR Champions is a membership organization of golfers aged 50 and older, with the most recognizable and accomplished players in the game ‐ including 33 members of the World Golf Hall of Fame. The season‐long Charles Schwab Cup gives way to the Charles Schwab Cup Playoffs – a three‐tournament, season‐ending series to determine the Tour’s top player.

The PGA TOUR Champions origin dates to the Senior PGA Championship, which was founded in 1937 and invited only high‐profile golfers over 50. The tour was formally established in 1980 and was originally known as the Senior PGA Tour until October 2002. The tour was then renamed the Champions Tour through the 2015 season, after which the current name of "PGA TOUR Champions" was adopted. Today, the PGA TOUR Champions consist of 27 events with a schedule that begins in January and concludes in November.

Television Coverage (The Golf Channel):

Serving the most‐affluent audience in all of television, Golf Channel, part of NBC Sports Group, is the home of PGA TOUR Champions coverage and is available in 75 million+ homes domestically and more than 200 million homes in 170 countries and 11 languages around the world. A majority of the PGA TOUR Champion events receive complete coverage on The Golf Channel, which is the exclusive cable‐television partner of PGA TOUR Champions. Internationally, these telecasts will reach more than 340 million potential households while being distributed in 15+ markets via GOLFTV.
