R&A : The Senior Open
I can't remember the last time Weirsy played in Britain, but during his glory years surrounding the 2003 Masters when he was ranked #3 in the world, he was qualified on an annual basis.
He was a playing member of the President's Cup 2000, through 2009 in Montreal when he cemented his legacy in Canadian golf, beating Tiger in singles. 2017-2022 he went on to be the Assistant Captain and in yet another honour, he will return to Montreal as International Team Captain in 2024.
After his elbow injuries' Mike's record from around 2014 until he qualified for the PGA Tours Champions in May 2020 indicate the struggles he went through, and I do remember he re joined the European Tour as well as the Web.com Tour in 2018 for a time to get in more tournament play.
The Senior circuit has been a great chapter in his career and life. Getting divorced from Bricia in 2014 and subsequently settling his personal life with the blessing of his grown up daughters Elle Marisa and Lili, Mike arrived on the scene in May 2020, looking and feeling fit with a new beau Michelle Money and won his first tournament the Insperity Invitational on May 2, 2021. He is currently ranked 36th on the Champions Tour money list.
This week he will play the Senior Open at Royal Porthcawl in Bridgend, Wales where Darren Clarke is the defending champion
9.20 GMT Group 14 1st tee Mike Weir, Paul Broadhurst, Ian Woosnam
