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)
“To many men much-wandering hope comes as a boon, but to many others it is the deception of vain desires.”
—Sophocles (497–406/5 B.C.)
“I sometimes wonder whether, in the still, sleepless hours of the night, the consciences of ... professional gossips do not stalk them. I myself believe in a final reckoning, when we shall be held accountable for our misdeeds. Do they? If so, they have cause to worry over many scoops that brought them a day’s dubious laurels and perhaps destroyed someone’s peace forever.”
—Mary Pickford (1893–1979)
“A golf course is nothing but a pool room moved outdoors.”
—Frank Butler (1890–1967)
