The U.S. Senior Open will be held from June 26 to June 29 at The Broadmoor (East Course) in Colorado Springs, Colo. Local Qualifying will take place from April 3 to May 9. Final Qualifying will be held from May 19 to June 2.
The U.S. Senior Open, introduced 45 years ago in 1980, is one of the five major championships in senior golf. The PGA Tour Champions and the European Senior Tour recognize it as a major championship.
The lower age limit was 55 in 1980, but it was lowered to 50 for the second edition in 1981, aligning with the standard age limit for men's senior professional golf tournaments. While the event is technically open to amateurs with an index of 2.4 or below, it has been predominantly dominated by professionals.
