� History

The PGA Winter Championships began in 1954, at theformer PGA National Golf Club in Dunedin, Fla., to provideadditional playing opportunities for PGA Professionals. Thatfirst year’s schedule featured the Stroke Play Championshipand Quarter Century Championship. The Senior-JuniorChampionship was added in 1959, and the Match PlayChampionship in 1964. With the founding of the Senior PGA(now Champions Tour), the Senior PGA Championship wasseparated from the PGA Winter Championships and a newsenior age division competition was developed for PGAmembers. In 1985, this event was named the Senior Stroke PlayChampionship. In February 2000, the Women’s Stroke PlayChampionship became the sixth leg of the popular program.
