BILOXI, Miss. (AP) — The PGA's Champions Tour is coming to Mississippi in 2010.
The PGA and Gulf Coast leaders will announce Tuesday in Biloxi that the 54-hole tournament, will be played April 30-May 2, 2010 at Fallen Oak Golf Club in Saucier. Fallen Oak is owned by the Beau Rivage.
The tournament will be broadcast live on the Golf Channel.
The Champions Tour, known until 2002 as the Senior PGA Tour, is a professional tour for golfers aged 50 and over. Last year's Champions Tour schedule featured 26 tournaments from Hawaii to Florida, with international events in England and the Dominican Republic.
The week of the tournament will also feature two days of pro-ams and other charity events to benefit Habitat for Humanity, the tournament's sole charitable beneficiary.
