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.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“If I’d written all the truth I knew for the past ten years, about 600 people—including me—would be rotting in prison cells from Rio to Seattle today. Absolute truth is a very rare and dangerous commodity in the context of professional journalism.”
—Hunter S. Thompson (b. 1939)
“Years ago we discovered the exact point, the dead center of middle age. It occurs when you are too young to take up golf and too old to rush up to the net.”
