The eight-time Order of Merit winner will be the host in Aberdeenshire later this year…
The 2024 Staysure Seniors PGA Championship, the European Legends Tour’s flagship event, will be hosted by Colin Montgomerie.
The tournament, the only four-day event outside of the majors on the Legends Tour, will be played at Trump International Golf Links, Scotland.
The Staysure PGA Seniors Championship is the biggest tournament on the European Legends Tour, akin to the BMW PGA Championship and the Players Championship on the DP World Tour and PGA Tour, respectively.
Montgomerie will host the tournament, joining the likes of Ian Woosnam, Paul Lawrie, and Peter Baker in putting their names to events on the 2024 Legends Tour calendar.
Peter Baker will be the defending champion after a six-shot victory last year, which was his third win of the 2023 season on the European Legends Tour.
The event will run from July 31 to August 4 on the Aberdeenshire links, with a whole host of stars expected to play in the tournament.
Tournament host Colin Montgomerie said: “I am thrilled and honored to have become a host on the Legends Tour. To be hosting the oldest Senior championship in Europe is a distinct privilege.
“The Staysure PGA Seniors Championship promises to be a fantastic event again this year, with it returning to Trump International Golf Links. The facilities are superb, and the course is incredible. It will provide a great test for the players, while displaying a stunning spectacle for those watching on
“I cannot wait for the tournament week, where I will be doing my best to be a good host, while also focusing on competing against a very strong field.”
Phil Harrison, CEO of the Legends Tour, said: “Colin Montgomerie is a name synonymous with European golf and the success it has enjoyed over the past forty years. We are delighted to have Colin on board as a host on the Legends Tour as we look to take it to the next level and continue our growth over the past four years.
“Having a marquee name to host our flagship event makes things extra special. The Staysure PGA Senior Championship is a week which all our members want to be a part of. The return to Trump International Golf Links where we enjoyed such a great event in 2023 and now with Colin hosting makes it a week to savor this summer.”
Sarah Malone, the Executive Vice President at Trump International, Scotland, said: “We are truly honored to welcome Colin back to Trump International Golf Links, Scotland where he helped launch our magnificent links with President Trump in 2012.
“We are thrilled to host The Staysure PGA Seniors Championship for a second year and can think of no better host for this fantastic tournament featuring so many great legends of the game.”
The tournament, which was first played on the Aberdeenshire coast last year, will form part of a Scottish swing.
The event will be preceded by the Senior Open presented by Rolex – the last of the five senior major championships in 2024. The Senior Open will be held at Carnoustie Golf Links.
The week before that will see the Open Championship played at Royal Troon, giving Scottish golf fans an incredible month of action.
Tickets for the Staysure PGA Seniors Championship are available on the Legends Tour website, and can be bought now at a discounted price.
