After Angel Cabrera claimed the Regions Tradition in a Monday finish, the PGA Tour Champions circuit moves to Congressional Country Club and the Senior PGA Championship.
Last year, on his senior debut, Richard Bland claimed the title by three strokes from Richard Green, with Bland carding a stunning eight-under-par 63 to secure the win at Harbor Shores Resort.
The Englishman returns for 2025 and, after a strong showing at the PGA Championship last week, he will be among the favorites that include the likes of fellow LIV Golfer Lee Westwood and current Charles Schwab Cup Money leader Miguel Angel Jimenez.
For 2025, the prize money purse remains the same as 2024, with $3.5 million up for grabs. Like last year, the winner will bag themselves a $630,000 payday with victory.
Like the PGA Championship, players will also receive a paycheck if they miss the cut. Any individual who misses the cut and turns in a 36-hole score receives $1,250, while any player who makes the cut but fails to submit a 72-hole score will also receive $1,250.

Who Are The Star Names In The Senior PGA Championship?
As mentioned, the LIV Golf duo of Bland and Westwood will be present, with Westwood making his tournament debut.
Jimenez is also in the field as he looks to extend his lead in the standings.
Some of the Major winners in the field this week include last week's winner Cabrera, as well as Rich Beem, Stewart Cink, John Daly, Ernie Els, Retif Goosen, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal, Vijay Singh and Mike Weir.
Another player making their senior debut this week is Soren Kjeldsen, who turned 50 on the 17th May and became eligible in the process.
Back in December, the Dane claimed an eight-stroke victory at the PGA Tour Champions Qualifying Tournament to secure his playing rights on the circuit.
Where Is The Senior PGA Championship Played?
For 2025, the Senior PGA Championship is taking place at Congressional Country Club's Blue Course, which has staged multiple Major championships and the AT&T Classic.
Located in Bethesda, Maryland, it has staged three US Opens, one PGA Championship and the Women's PGA Championship. Throughout its history, the likes of Rory McIlroy and Ernie Els have won around its layout.
Who Won The 2024 Senior PGA Championship?
Bland is the defending champion after finishing 17-under for the championship last year. Carding a seven-under 64 opening round, the Englishman did suffer a third round blip with a three-over 74, but recovered with an eight-under 63 to win by three shots.
