History
The Seniors Amateur Championship was launched by The R&A in 1969 to help select a Great Britain & Ireland side to play in the World Senior Amateur Team Championship run by the World Amateur Golf Council.
While the Seniors, played for the first time at Formby, was an instant success, the team event did not survive beyond 1969.
The Seniors Amateur Championship is played on an annual basis on courses throughout Great Britain and Ireland.
Charlie Green has been the most successful player in the history of the event, winning six times in seven years from 1988.
Since 2006, Americans Paul Simson and Chip Lutz have both won the championship on three occasions.
