**Nicklaus: Reuniting golf ‘above my pay grade’**

Nicklaus, a 77-time PGA Tour winner and a 6-time co-founder of the PGA Champions Tour, has reunited the originally divided senior professional golf tournament scene.

The Legends of Golf tournament is Nicklaus’s two-man, best-ball event near Savannah in October, which will return in 2023.

The Champions Tour, also referred to as the PGA Tour Champions, was divided with smaller competing entities, the Senior PGA Tour and the Senior PGA Championship from 1980 to 1988, which led to the idea of the Senior Golf Tour to provide a common field for senior golfers to compete against each other.

The Senior Golf Tour was one of 3 senior golf tours that existed during the 1980s. With 19 co-sponsors, Nicklaus asked Seniors Champions Tour members to help make the tournaments as successful as they can, “for a sum way above my pay grade.”
