said Peter Senior, who has retired from the Champions Tour in the US.

"Playing with all my friends on the Legends Tour is always
lots of fun. It’s great to catch up, share stories from our seasons competing
on overseas Seniors Tours and reminisce about our times competing as the young
stars on Tour."

"But it is all business when we are on course. We are all
still very competitive which will make for a good showdown at the Australian
PGA Seniors Championship."

the Australian PGA Seniors Championship, and on behalf of all the players I
would like to thank Mollymook Golf Club for opening their course to us."
