Why do we need to convince you ?
The Seniors Tour is a very competitive tour for players that have moved on in age and they have comps where the set up is different than their average Tour Comp and they call these their majors - what’s the issue ?

I see Gary Player was on about these majors last week. He was upset that The Open, The Masters, USPGA and US Open were not included as 'Major wins'. IMO he's talking nonsense.
I think it's a good thing that these guys can still play on a tour though. Especially so for those who have been less successful on the main tours. It gives them a chance to earn some coin.
No problem them earning some good money but Majors...come on eh.
They are a bit of fun for older players, a great chance for fans to see them up close still. They can be called Majors within the Seniors Tour, call them what they like, but they hold no credibility in terms of real Majors outside of the Seniors Tour, nor should they.

Older guys = Senior
Big pots = Major
Convinced?

Dont see what the problem is. Why shouldnt the senior tours have majors? I wouldnt put them on a par with the main 4 tourneys as there are no age restrictions with those but the senior majors provide focus for those players over 50.
i wasn't aware that they had senior majors outside of the usual, US PGA/Open/US Open TBH.
How many others are they having?

There are the 4 "MAJORS"... we all know that.
BUT, ........... folk on here often refer to their Club "Board Comps" as "Majors" Every Tour seems to have its "Majors."
So, the Senior Majors are just that, the "biggest" events of the year on "that Tour."
Would Jimenez swap what he won yesterday for a Claret Jug or a Green Jacket? Too right he would. But, was he chuffed t obits to win yesterday? Of course.
I think folk understand the hierarchy.

I read your original post and thought 'I'll have a pint of whatever he's been drinking'
I agree entirely.

What ?
It's bad enough they allow women to play, now you're telling me they play "Majors" as well. When did this happen ? I demand to know.

Shocking isn't it? Did you know they are also allowed to drive and vote these days and in some households, they are the major breadwinner!

Isn’t it like having a seniors section at your club?
Ours have their own comps off the forward tees, interclub thingymabobs, own notice board etc.
I think its it’s a good chance to catch some of the past greats play the game.
