TEE TIMES: Here are the tee times and pairings for the 2017 Senior PGA Championship.

HOST VENUE: Trump National Golf Club, Washington, D.C., was created in 2009, when Donald Trump bought what was then known as the Lowes Island Club. Since taking over, Trump has added the Championship Course to the facility's original course, now known as the River Course, and added a tennis center among other amenities during a major renovation project completed in 2015.

HOST COURSE: The only course in Washington D.C. area with large-scale Potomac River frontage, it measures 7,693 yards and was designed to take advantage of the river from both a visual and playability perspective. It is comprised of 007 bentgrass greens, pennlinks tees and fairways, while the rough is a mix of fescue, bluegrass and ryegrass.

TV TIMES: Golf Channel will broadcast the first two rounds, while NBC will carry the two weekend rounds. The airtimes are:

TOURNAMENT HISTORY: The oldest and most prestigious major championship in senior golf, the Senior PGA Championship was founded in 1937 and first played at Augusta National Golf Club. The list of winners through the years includes many of golf's biggest names, including Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Gene Sarazen, Tom Watson, Lee Trevino, Hale Irwin, Gary Player, and Sam Snead, who won the title a record six times. 

Over the years, the tournament has been staged at such prominent venues as PGA National, Firestone Country Club, Ridgewood Country Club, Aronimink Golf Club, Valhalla Golf Club, Oak Tree Golf Club, Canterbury Golf Club, Bellerive Country Club and the Kiawah Island Resort.     

TROPHY: The winner will have his name engraged on the Alfred S. Bourne Trophy, one of the most distinctive trophies in all of golf. It is named for Alfred Severin Bourne, an original member at Augusta National and longtime friend of PGA Professionals. Bourne donated $1,500 to pay for the 30-pound trophy and create an endowment for the tournament.

FUTURE SENIOR PGA CHAMPIONSHIP VENUES: The 2018 Senior PGA Championship will return to Harbor Shores Golf Club in Benton Harbor, Michigan. Harbor Shores also was the host venue for the 2012, 2014 and 2016 editions of the tournament.
