Senior Men's Professional Golf
Senior majors
- 26–29 May: Senior PGA Championship - Mike Reid won a three man playoff to claim his first Champions Tour title.
- 7–10 July: Senior Players Championship - Peter Jacobsen won his second Champions Tour event and his second senior major.
- 21–24 July: Senior British Open - Tom Watson won his second Senior British Open and his fourth senior major.
- 28–31 July: U.S. Senior Open - Allen Doyle won his third senior major. Doyle, who started the final round nine shots out of the lead, shot a final-round 63, a course record which tied for the lowest round ever in the U.S. Senior Open, and saw the leaders come back to him. Doyle would win by one stroke. His final-round comeback is unprecedented in the history of the senior majors; in the mainstream majors, only Paul Lawrie's comeback from 10 shots down on the final day of the 1999 Open Championship surpasses this feat.
- 25–28 August: The Tradition - Loren Roberts defeated Dana Quigley on the second playoff hole to win his first senior major.

Famous quotes containing the words senior, men, professional and/or golf:
“I suffer whenever I see that common sight of a parent or senior imposing his opinion and way of thinking and being on a young soul to which they are totally unfit. Cannot we let people be themselves, and enjoy life in their own way? You are trying to make that man another you. One’s enough.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Some of these men had become abstrusely entangled with the spying departments of other nations and would give an amusing jump if you came from behind and tapped them on the shoulder.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“Men seem more bound to the wheel of success than women do. That women are trained to get satisfaction from affiliation rather than achievement has tended to keep them from great achievement. But it has also freed them from unreasonable expectations about the satisfactions that professional achievement brings.”
—Phyllis Rose (b. 1942)
“And the wind shall say: “Here were decent godless people:
Their only monument the asphalt road
And a thousand lost golf balls.””
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
