Overview
Formerly the Senior PGA Tour, the Champions Tour is a tax-exempt membership organization of professional golfers age 50 and older. Since its inception in 1980 with just four sanctioned events and purses totaling $475,000, the Champions Tour now has 29 official Charles Schwab Cup events, offering a minimum of $52.75 million in official prize money in 2006 and its highest average per tournament purse of $1.82 million. The Tour has an additional lineup of three Challenge / unofficial-money events that are played in February, November and December. The Champions Tour operates under the umbrella of the PGA TOUR, which includes the PGA TOUR, Champions Tour and Nationwide Tour. The Champions Tour's primary purpose as a component of the PGA TOUR is to provide significant competitive and earnings opportunities for players age 50 and older, to protect the integrity of the game and to help grow the reach of the game in the U.S. and around the world. In addition to providing competitive opportunities for its membership, Champions Tour events also generate significant sums of money for charity.

History
1980 - 2008. The Tour enters its 29th season in 2008.

Charity
Champions Tour events generate significant sums of money for charity. On Oct. 30, 2005, the three Tours of the PGA TOUR and their tournaments announced they had reached the $1-billion milestone in charitable giving, dating back to the first recorded donation in 1938.
