Senior Amateur FAQ

What age qualifies for senior amateur golf tournaments?

Most national and USGA senior amateur events require players to be 55 or older, including the U.S. Senior Amateur. Some state associations and senior tours set the line at 50. Every event page on AmateurGolf.com lists its exact age eligibility.

What handicap do you need to play senior amateur tournaments?

It varies by event. Elite national championships like the U.S. Senior Amateur require a Handicap Index of 7.4 or lower, while many state and local senior events accept single-digit to mid-teen handicaps, and some flight the field so any handicap can compete. Check the entry requirements on each tournament listing.

What is the difference between senior and super-senior?

Senior divisions generally start at 55 (sometimes 50), while super-senior divisions are for older competitors — usually 65 and up. Many senior tournaments include a super-senior division or trophy within the same field.

How do I qualify for the U.S. Senior Amateur?

The U.S. Senior Amateur requires players 55+ with a Handicap Index of 7.4 or lower to enter an 18-hole local qualifying round held at sites across the country in late summer. Exemptions are available for past champions and top finishers. Entries typically close in July.
