Women's professional senior golf is for female players aged 45 or 50 and above. The leading women's senior tour is the U.S.-based Legends Tour, which was founded in 2000. It has established a roster of two major championships.[1] On the Legends Tour, the minimum age is 45, although with the USGA instituting the new U.S. Senior Women's Open in 2018, it chose a minimum age of 50. Also, the U.S. Senior Women's Open is played over four rounds, whereas the Senior LPGA Championship is played over three rounds. A golfer's performances can be quite variable from one round to the next, so playing an extra round increases the likelihood that the tournament will be won by leading players.[2]
In order of foundation, the senior women's majors are:
- Senior LPGA Championship – Founded in 2017 and organized by the LPGA, for players aged 45 or above[3]
- U.S. Senior Women's Open – Founded in 2018 and organized by the United States Golf Association, for players aged 50 or above
