The Legends Tour has announced its 2026 global schedule, as the Tour officially becomes the Staysure Legends Tour, following the appointment of Staysure as title sponsor.
The new season will be unveiled with a new logo, an international calendar and a continued commitment to showcasing world-class over-50s competition. Featuring Ryder Cup captains, Major champions and proven Tour winners, alongside an exciting influx of new players.
The Tour will also continue to offer amateur golfers the opportunity to play alongside legends of the game both in pro-am formats and competitive ‘tournament experience’ golf.
With a new title sponsor and events staged across the UK and Ireland, Europe, America, the Caribbean, Middle East and Asia, the 2026 Staysure Legends Tour calendar underlines its truly global reach and growing international stature.
The season kicks off in February in Marbella, at Aloha, which includes home favourites José María Olazábal and Miguel Ángel Jiménez, before a return to Barbados at the end of April, where the Tour will visit the spectacular Apes Hill resort for a tournament hosted by Masters champion and 2006 Ryder Cup captain, Ian Woosnam.
The Tour’s flagship event, the Staysure PGA Seniors Championship, will once again be hosted by another household name and former Ryder Cup captain – Colin Montgomerie – who will resume host duties at the magnificent Trump International Scotland in Aberdeen. The August event will be the first professional tournament to be played on the New Course, marking a significant milestone for both the venue and Scottish golf.
The Major season will begin with the Senior PGA Championship in Florida in April, followed by the US Senior Open in Ohio in July, before culminating in the ISPS HANDA Senior Open at Gleneagles in Scotland. Hosted at the iconic 2014 Ryder Cup venue, Gleneagles offers a historic and fitting stage for one of the most celebrated championships in the senior game, reinforcing the Tour’s connection to the sport’s most storied venues.
Further highlights include a co-sanctioned PGA Tour Champions event in Portugal at the end of July that will see many global stars playing at the Els Club in Vilamoura.
The tour will also return to the Middle East, having last visited the region in 2018 following back-to-back Sharjah Senior Golf Masters at Sharjah Golf and Shooting Club. The venue for this year is still to be confirmed.
David Adams, Managing Director of the Staysure Legends Tour, said: “We’re incredibly excited to announce our 2026 schedule and to begin this new era as the Staysure Legends Tour. The breadth of the calendar, the quality of the venues and the global nature of the Tour reflect how far it has come. With tournaments across the UK and Ireland, Europe, America and Asia, encompassing three senior Majors and world-class destinations, 2026 promises to be a landmark season.”
Ryan Howsam, Chairman of both Staysure and the Staysure Legends Tour, added: “The Staysure Legends Tour represents the very best of the game’s experience and competitive spirit. Aligning Staysure with the Tour allows us to support a global sporting platform built on trust, quality and long-term ambition. The strengthened schedule and new identity reflect the direction of travel and the opportunities ahead.”
The announcement follows an outstanding 2025 season, which saw Australian Scott Hend, a multiple winner on the DP World Tour and Asian Tour, claim the season-long Order of Merit title after a dominant year.
The year also saw a number of rookies coming into contention alongside established names, underlining the depth, competitiveness and evolving profile of the Tour. This included the likes of Ryder Cup stars Jamie Donaldson, Stephen Gallacher and David Howell, as well as established DP World Tour stalwarts Johan Edfors, Anthony Wall, David Drysdale and Steve Webster, plus Darren Fichardt, who was crowned Barry Lane Rookie of the Year in 2025 after a stellar season competing on both the Legends Tour and the DP World Tour.
With Ryder Cup pedigree, Major-winning talent, emerging contenders and world-class global venues across Europe, America and Asia, the 2026 Staysure Legends Tour is poised to deliver another year of compelling storylines and elite competition. Further additions to the 2026 schedule will be confirmed in due course.
