The PGA of America has announced that The Concession Golf Club in Bradenton, Florida, will host the Senior PGA Championship for three consecutive years, beginning with the 2026 edition scheduled for April 16–19.
The 2026 Senior PGA Championship will mark the event’s debut at The Concession and its return to Florida, where it was exclusively held from 1940 to 2000.
“The PGA of America is proud to take the next three editions of the Senior PGA Championship to one of Florida’s finest venues in The Concession Golf Club,” says PGA of America President Don Rea Jr., PGA Master Professional and Owner/ Operator of Augusta Ranch Golf Club (Arizona). “Designed by two icons of our game – Jack (Nicklaus) and Tony (Jacklin) – The Concession will provide a fantastic test for the world’s best senior players. We cannot wait for the first Senior PGA Championship in Bradenton next April.”
The Senior PGA Championship, the longest-running major championship in senior golf, began in 1937 at Augusta National Golf Club. The Championship annually features a 156-player field consisting of numerous major champions, World Golf Hall of Famers, past Ryder Cup Captains as well as the Corebridge Financial Team of PGA of America Golf Professionals from across the country.
The Concession Golf Club pays tribute to Nicklaus’ extraordinary display of sportsmanship to English golfer Jacklin during the 1969 Ryder Cup at Royal Birkdale. Nicklaus conceded a 2-foot putt to Jacklin to halve their match, which resulted in the first-ever tie in the history of the Ryder Cup. The Concession, which opened in 2006, is a Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course designed in association with Jacklin.
“I am happy and excited that the Senior PGA Championship is coming to The Concession Golf Club,” says Nicklaus (pictured), the 1991 Senior PGA Champion.
Adds Bruce Cassidy Sr., President of The Concession Golf Club, “We are incredibly honored and excited to host three Senior PGA Championships beginning next April.”
