Charles Schwab Cup

The Charles Schwab Cup Championship is the final event of the season on the U.S.-based Champions Tour, the world's leading golf tour for male professionals aged fifty and above. Played in late October each year, it is the Champions Tour's equivalent of the PGA Tour's Tour Championship, and was formerly known as the Senior Tour Championship. Like the Tour Championship it has a small field of thirty and no half-way cut. The top thirty money winners make up the field. The purse for 2009 was $2,500,000, with $440,000 going to the winner.

"The PGA Tour as an organization exists to create the highest competitive experience for our players and return the greatest amount of money to the communities where we stage our tournaments", said Leon Gilmore, Executive Director -- Charles Schwab Cup Championship. In what other job can you create an event for the best 30 professional golfers and individuals where thousands of people can enjoy, sun, wine and food and ultimately all of the proceeds go to help charity? That's what makes this job so incredible.

"The Charles Schwab Cup Championship is a wonderful event that showcases, Sonoma County and all of the wonderful things that we have to offer through national television coverage on the Golf Channel, said Sonoma County Board of Supervisor Valerie Brown. Additionally, the tournament provides an important economic boost to our businesses and non profit organizations".
