The Australian PGA Seniors Championship will return to Richmond Golf Club from 1-3 November following a three year absence from the popular venue.

The tournament was last played at Richmond Golf Club in 2015 when 1986 Australian Open champion Rodger Davis took out the title in a playoff over Peter Senior and Michael Harwood, the event has been looking for a permanent home since.

Richmond Golf Club has proven to be a popular host venue of the Australian PGA Seniors Championship with both the members and Ladbrokes Legends Tour players and with support from new sponsors and the backing of the Hawkesbury region,  Richmond Golf Club CEO Kimberley Talbot stated that the Board of Directors has signed off to host the event until 2020.

“We are so pleased to again be hosting with the Australian PGA Seniors Championships! Having an awesome line-up of Legends Tour Professionals competing as we did in 2015 will ensure the members and Sponsors alike are getting great value,” said Talbot.

“Being able to see the who’s who of Australian Golf from years gone by playing on the oldest course in New South Wales, on its original site, will be a sight to behold.

“We look forward to this year’s event being a great success within the Hawkesbury region.”

The Australian PGA Seniors Championship has always been the marquee tournament on the Ladbrokes Legends Tour and in 2018 will follow on from the New South Wales Senior Open, providing two weeks of high quality golf for some of Australia’s golfing icons.

Rodger Davis, Peter Senior and Ian Baker-Finch, Peter O’Malley, Craig Parry, Peter Fowler, Mike Harwood, Peter Lonard and many more are expected to take part to make it one of the one of the strongest senior Professional fields ever assembled in Australia.

“We’re very excited to see the Australian PGA Seniors Championship return to Richmond Golf Club in 2018,” said Gavin Kirkman, CEO of the PGA of Australia which owns the Ladbrokes Legends Tour.

“An event of this nature deserves a fitting venue and we look forward to crowning the Australian PGA Senior Champion at Richmond Golf Club for the next three years.”

The Australian PGA Seniors Championship will be played for a minimum of $70,000 in prize money.
