Champions Tour Qualification: Do Seniors Need PGA Q-School?

Question
Do seniors need PGA Q-School in order to play Champions Tour?
Thanks

Answer
Hello Robert:  The Champions Tour has Monday qualifiers for several events throughout the year.  The individual qualifiers are set up to discourage all but the wealthy or well-connected as they first have a pre-qualifier on the previous Friday, then a qualifier the next Monday.  In order to do that, you would have to arrive in time for a practice round and live out of a motel or rec. vehicle for over a week to make it to the start of the tournament on Friday.  

They also conduct a Q-School each year.  Follow this link to learn about cost, location and all other pertinent information.  I believe the deadline for this year's event is past.  http://www.pgatour.com/qschool/

Good luck!!
