founded in 2000 by LPGA
professionals over the age of
45, to showcase the talents
of some of the greatest
women’s golfers of all time.
The Legends Tour has more
than 120 members, including
14 LPGA andWorld Golf Hall
of Fame members. Legends
Tour players have over
750
combined
LPGA
Tour victories, including
86 major championships. In
its 15 seasons, The Legends
Tour has awarded more than
$14 million in prize money
and helped raise more than
$19 million for charity.
With this announcement,
The Legends Tour now adds
two major championships
to its schedule. The USGA

that it would host the first
U.S. Senior Women’s Open
Championship beginning in
2018 at Chicago Golf Club.
The Dye Course at FrenchLick has also hosted the
PGA Professional National

Adding
two

The
Legends Tour and airing them
on national television will
help to grow the game among
women across the country.
