The final day of play at the 2023 Senior LPGA Championship was a race against the clock with impending weather and darkness trying to spoil the party. After delays early in the morning due to weather, the field took to the course at 1 p.m. ET to try and fit in the final round. When the final putt dropped on 18, the Legends Tour crowned a new champion.

Angela Stanford was five-shots back of the lead when she teed up her ball for the final round of the 2023 Senior LPGA Championship. A bogey-free 65 (-7) would launch Stanford up the leaderboard with a birdie on the last being the winning putt for the championship, but she was unaware of that at the time.

“When I saw the leaderboard coming up 18, I saw Trish was at -13,” said Stanford. “I think at that point I was pretty upset because I felt like I didn’t have a chance, which is probably why that putt went in. I hit it pretty hard because I was pretty upset with myself.”

Stanford will have a quick turnaround after a whirlwind of a week, as she is on her way to play in the 2023 US Women’s Open at Pebble Beach in a week’s time. The Texas native is a regular name at the top of the leaderboards on the LPGA Tour, collecting 100 top-10 finishes and 7 victories in her career. Now, in her first stop on the Legends Tour, she is taking home some hardware to add to her collection and give her some confidence heading into the biggest purse in women’s golf.

“I’m leaving with more confidence than I had before I came here, that’s for sure,” said Stanford. “I think I just figured some things out, and I got my mind right this week. I have had some confidence issues lately and this week was figuring out how to get back to basics. I was nervous out there over a lot of putts which is good for me heading into next week.”

Trish Johnson held the 36-hole lead at the 2023 Senior LPGA Championship and continued to hold the lead up until the 54 th hole of the tournament. Johnson went into No. 17 with a four-shot lead and when she left the green, she was tied. A triple-bogey from Johnson after a wayward tee-shot, paired with a Stanford birdie on No. 18, made it a four-shot swing in the matter of 15 minutes. The tee-shot on No. 18 for Johnson found trouble on the edge of the fairway bunker and all she could manage was a punch out. After a tidy approach shot, the two-time Senior LPGA Champion had a 12-foot putt to force a playoff, but the putt slide just by the hole on the low side. With the missed putt on 18, Johnson saw a third title slip out of her hands at the last moment.

“My game was great for about 16 holes,” said Johnson. “I ended triple, then bogey to finish. Not much more you can say really, just a horrendous finish. It was obviously very, very disappointing. Literally throwing the tournament away, but life goes on there are worse things.”

Karrie Webb rounded out a star studded top-3 after a final round 69 (-3). Webb entered the day three-shots back and was looking to become the first player to pick up back-to-back Senior LPGA Championship titles but fell just short in her last 18. Webb sets a high standard for herself, and it is reflected in the seven major championships she has won throughout her career. The final round today for Webb felt flat, with defending champion not being able to get rhythm on the course.

“I didn’t play particularly well today,” said Webb. “With the course set up the way it was I had a lot of wedges in my hand and I either hit a really good one or a really poor one. Some of those lead to bogeys and I had a lot of missed opportunities as well.”

Rounding out the top of the leaderboard are Silvia Cavalleri who finished solo fourth at -6, with Jackie Gallagher-Smith and Christa Johnson finishing T5 at -2 respectively.

Legends Tour hits new landmark with biggest schedule and record €18million prizepool

The legends tour has unveiled plans for a record-breaking 2024 season, headlined by its busiest schedule to date – including nine new events – and an eye-watering €18million prize pool..

Running from April to December, this year’s globetrotting schedule will feature 20 events – featuring new tournaments set to debut in Barbados, Kenya, Mexico, Spain, the UK and Zambia, with even more additions still to be announced.

They join Legends Tour staples such as the flagship Staysure PGA Seniors Championship – which will return to Trump International Golf Links in Aberdeen following the success of last year’s event – and the Irish Legends at Seapoint Golf Links.

Many of the Legends Tour’s brightest stars will be eyeing up Major victory in 2024 at the KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship at Harbor Shores Golf Club, the US Senior Open at Newport Country Club and The Senior Open presented by Rolex at Carnoustie Golf Links.

The season will culminate with the MCB Tour Championship Mauritius at Constance Belle Mare Plage, where qualifying players will contest for the John Jacobs Trophy, which was won in 2023 by former Ryder Cup player Peter Baker.

As well as the tournament silverware, some of golf’s biggest names will also be competing for the largest prize pool in Legends Tour history. The €18million (more than €8.6million of which will be assigned outside of the Majors of senior men’s golf – the KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship, the US Senior Open and The Senior Open presented by Rolex) represents a 100 per cent increase since the tour returned to a full schedule in 2022 following the covid pandemic, with $2million to play for in the final two events on the Road to Mauritius and a bonus pool of $100,000 for the top five players in the final standings.

Complementing the drama of the professional events will be the unique Celebrity Pro-Am, which sees stars from the world of sport and entertainment competing to raise money and awareness for their chosen charities. Meanwhile, passionate amateurs can tee off alongside their heroes in the Legends Experience, the tour’s one-of-a-kind pro-am experience.

The announcement suggests the global growth of the Legends Tour – which hit new heights in 2023 – is set to continue. At the end of the season, the brand announced record figures for amateur participation, spectators and social media engagement, with the latter taking total reach across all channels to over 100million people for the first time.

In November, the inaugural Vinpearl DIC Legends Vietnam – the competition’s first foray into Vietnam – embodied the expansion into new markets, including Asia, Africa, the Caribbean and Central America, that has characterised the Legends Tour’s first three years.

Phil Harrison, CEO of the Legends Tour, said: “We have been working hard behind the scenes, and 2024 promises to be another incredible year for the Legends Tour.

“Securing new events in some truly spectacular venues around the world is always a key objective of ours, and we are thrilled with the additions to the schedule for this season, as well as the prestigious venues we are honoured to return to.

“Everything – from the standard of competition to the number of amateurs getting involved – has been growing year on year, and this year will be no exception. We cannot wait to see it all unfold.”
