The Champions Tour is a stage exclusively for players over the age of 50. Choi Kyung-ju also celebrated his 50th birthday last May. After being suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic since the Hog Classic in March, the tour resumed after a long four-month hiatus. For Choi Kyung-ju, pioneering the Champions Tour following his PGA Tour career is especially meaningful. This season, he is also competing on the PGA Tour simultaneously, leveraging a one-year exemption granted to players who have made over 300 cuts.
