Two-time British Open Champion Greg Norman heads 25 major champions who have committed to compete in the 70th Senior PGA Championship, which makes its first appearance, May 18-24, at Canterbury Golf Club in Beachwood, Ohio.
Overall, the 25 major champions in the 156-player field have combined to win 48 majors between 1963 and 1998. The field at Canterbury Golf Club also features players representing 30 states and 14 countries, and includes 13 Ryder Cup Captains along with 10 World Golf Hall of Fame members.
One of the most recognizable players in modern golf, Norman is making his second consecutive Senior PGA Championship appearance. He finished tied for sixth last year at Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, N.Y., after challenging for the lead late in the final round.
He is the winner of 89 titles worldwide including the 1986 and 1993 British Open Championships. Known by his moniker, the "Great White Shark," he held the No. 1 spot in the Official World Rankings for 331 weeks at the peak of his PGA Tour career.
Past Senior PGA Champion Tom Watson (2001) leads all major champions at Canterbury Golf Club with eight victories, including five British Open titles. Watson is one of 10 World Golf Hall of Fame members in the field, a list that includes 73-year-old Bob Charles (2008), the winner of the 1963 British Open. Charles is the first left-hander to capture a major championship and to earn the World Golf Hall of Fame honor. He will be appearing in his 21st Senior PGA Championship.
