The Champions Tour, a Golf tour run by the PGA TOUR , hosts 30 events annually in the United States , Canada , the United Kingdom and Mexico for male golfers 50 and older. The tour grew out of a highly successful event in 1978 , the ''Legends of Golf'', which featured competition between two-member teams of some of the greatest older golfers of that day. It was known as the Senior PGA TOUR until 2002 . Upon eligibility, some of the greatest names in golf history have participated in the tour.

Most of the tournaments are played over three rounds or 54 holes, which is one round less than regular professional Strokeplay tournaments, for example on the PGA Tour. Because of this, there are generally no "cuts" between any of the rounds. However, the five Senior Majors do have four rounds. A golfer's performances can be quite variable from one round to the next, and playing an extra round increases the likelihood that the senior majors will be won by leading players. In 2006 the Champions Tour Division Board of the PGA Tour organisation voted to allow players the option to use Golf Cart s during most events on the tour. The five Major Championships and certain other events, including pro-ams, are excluded. {Link without Title} SCHEDULE The following table shows all the official money events for the 2006 season.
