Formerly it was an unofficial money event on the European Seniors Tour, but from 2007 it is an official money event, and the winners gain entry into the same season's PGA Championship. The lower age limit is 50, which is the standard limit for men's senior professional golf tournaments, and in the past the event has had long spells of playing on a single host course, but currently it is played on a different course each year. In 1979 and 1984, two tournaments were played and no tournaments were held in 1939, 1943, 1944, 1983, and 1985. The tournament was gone by several different names such as “PGA Seniors' Championship” from 1937 to 1984, “General Foods PGA Seniors' Championship” from 1984 to 1989, “PGA Seniors' Championship” from 1990 to 2000 and “Senior PGA Championship” from 2000 to present. Through the 2007 tournament the following men have won the Senior PGA Championship more than once: Sam Snead with 6 wins, Hale Irwin with 4 wins, Eddie Williams, Al Watrous, Gary Player with 3 wins and Jock Hutchison, Gene Sarazen, Paul Runyan, Julius Boros, Don January, Arnold Palmer, Lee Trevino with 2 wins.
