The best PGA Legends Professionals will converge on the Sunshine Coast this week to compete on three of the most recognised golf courses the area has on offer to wrap up the 2015 E-Z-GO PGA Legends Tour season.
Players will kick off the week of events at Noosa Golf Club tomorrow, then to Peregian Springs and Twin Waters Golf Club’s in the days following.
The three individual pro-ams totalling $60,000 in prizemoney will culminate with the inaugural Sunshine Coast Masters tournament on Friday where the leading 29 Professionals from the three previous tournaments will share in a bonus $20,000 to also be played at Twin Waters.
The driving force behind the week and the unique format is Australian golfing legend Ian Baker-Finch who dedicates much of his time when back in Australia to not only his commentary commitments, but also supporting the E-Z-GO PGA Legends Tour.
Baker-Finch will be competing in each event during the week and no doubt will want to be at the top of the leaderboard by week’s end.
"I enjoy coming home and playing in Australia and I’m sure we will see some of the best that our Legend Professionals can offer this week," said Baker-Finch.
"The Sunshine Coast is a fantastic destination to finish the season for the players and we are looking forward to having so many of our greatest names supporting the week."
Also making an appearance this week is Peter Senior who is in great form after his win at the Australian Masters but also coming off a narrow loss on the weekend at the Australian Legends Tour Championship held at Byron Bay.
Senior lost to fellow Queenslander Tod Power in a playoff so will be looking for redemption in the coming days.
Other players to compliment the strong field of Professionals include Rodger Davis, Mike Harwood, David Merriman and Terry Price, not to mention the next generation of Legends looking to make a mark on the tour.
