The senior amateur season still has plenty to offer as the calendar turns toward winter. From invitationals in Georgia and Texas to California championships and a South Florida finish, the next three months include a strong mix of individual titles, team competition and events with a national following.
This watch list covers October 7, 2026, through January 6, 2027, with a focus on U.S. men’s senior amateur majors and ranking events. It is an editorial selection, not a numerical ranking, and eligibility varies by tournament.
Schedule note: Dates below reflect AmateurGolf.com’s current records. Five events carry estimated dates and are marked provisional. Confirm those dates with the organizer before entering or booking travel.
International Senior Invitational
October 8–10
Cartersville Country Club • Cartersville, Georgia
The opening stop combines team pride with an individual title. Three-player teams represent states and countries, with two scores counting each day. Invitations draw on world amateur rankings and recent tournament performance, and the 54-hole individual competition gives players another championship to chase.
Two Rivers Senior Invitational
October 11–13
Two Rivers Country Club • Williamsburg, Virginia
Two Rivers follows with 54 holes of stroke play and senior, super-senior and legends competition. First played in 2009, the event limits its field to 80 players selected by the tournament committee. Its senior division begins at age 50, an eligibility detail worth checking for players entering the senior circuit.

A team option: Two Man Links & Father & Son at Torrey Pines

For players who want to close the year alongside a partner, AmateurGolf.com’s Two Man Links & Father & Son at Torrey Pines adds a different kind of competition. December 15 is arrival day, followed by tournament rounds December 16–18 at Torrey Pines North, Torrey Pines South and Coronado.
The 54-hole best-ball event welcomes two-person teams and includes a senior bonus for the lowest gross score among teams with both players age 55 or older.
Looking ahead: Lupton’s return
The John T. Lupton Memorial Senior Invitational is excluded from this three-month selection. Its 2026 event was postponed as The Honors Course prepared to host the U.S. Women’s Amateur. The tournament is set to return in 2027, but dates have not been announced; the January 1–3 calendar entry should not be treated as a confirmed schedule.
