The Legends Tour launches new schedule for 2026 season

The Legends Tour has marked the unveiling of its schedule for the 2026 season by confirming an exciting new chapter following the announcement that Staysure has become title sponsor.

Featuring a refreshed identity with the presentation a new logo, an expanded 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 Staysure Legends Tour continues to celebrate excellence built on experience and sustained performance at the highest level. 

The tour will also continue to offer amateur golfers the unique opportunity to play alongside legends of the game both in fun pro-am formats and competitive ‘tournament experience’ golf.

Staysure was founded in 2004 and is one of the UK’s most trusted and reviewed travel insurers, helping people enjoy travel and active lifestyles by offering travel insurance to the UK’s over-50s who have pre-existing medical conditions. With global expansion as a priority, it’s these shared characteristics that make Staysure the obvious partner for the Legends Tour.

With a new title sponsor and events staged across the UK and Ireland, Europe, America, the Caribbean 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, with a strong field at Aloha that 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 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. 

Fans can also look forward to three prestigious major championships on the 2026 schedule. 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. 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.

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.  

The 2026 Staysure Legends Tour is poised to deliver another year of compelling storylines and elite competition.
