The European Senior Men's Championship is a European amateur golf championship for men over 50 (previously 55) organized by the European Golf Association. [1]
The inaugural event was held in 1996, with 25 editions have been contested so far. It is now played annually in conjunction with the European Senior Ladies' Championship. [2]
The championship is open to players aged above 50 years old.
The format of this competition consists of three rounds of stroke play, with a cut after the second round out of which the lowest 54 men's scores can qualify for the final round.
