Welcome to the 2025 U.S. Senior Challenge at Hobe Sound Golf Club. Now in its 40th year, the U.S. Senior Challenge was the nation's first senior amateur golf tournament, allowing individuals or 4-man state teams to compete. The U.S. Senior Challenge is a tournament within a tournament where individual and team champions will be crowned.
FORMAT: A player may register as an individual or part of a four-man team. Individuals will play a standard 54-hole tournament format. Those registering as a state team will play a 54-hole format where the best three of four scores will determine the team total. Each team player will also be competing as an individual. (Individual players may be combined from contiguous states to form a team if desired.) Teams may be made up of individuals from any age division. There will be a team champion crowned, as well as an individual winner in each division.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The U.S. Senior Challenge is certified by The USGA and R&A as a World Amateur Golf Ranking (WAGR) counting tournament leading to 25+ exemptions into the 2025 U.S. Senior Amateur to be held at The Honors Course in Ooltewah, Tenn.
