History of the Championship
The Senior PGA Professional Championship was established in 1952 and has long served as a marquee event for PGA Professionals aged 50 and older. What began as a modest competition has grown into a celebrated tradition in the Pacific Northwest Section. In 1965, Harry Umbinetti claimed the title and a top prize of $250, with just 21 competitors vying for a total purse of $920 at Yakima Elks’ Golf and Country Club.
Over the decades, the championship has graced many of the region’s most respected venues, including Royal Oaks Country Club, Eugene Country Club, Manito Golf and Country Club, and Fircrest Golf Club. Among the event’s legends is Bob Duden, who dominated the championship in the 1970s with six victories in that decade and seven titles overall. Jeff Coston holds the record for most wins (nine).

Seattle Golf Club
Seattle Golf Club was founded in 1900 as a 6-hole course on the north shore of Lake Union. The club moved to a 9-hole location in Laurelhurst until 1906. In 1907, a new 18-hole course was designed and built in the location it still is today. Over the years, this challenging and beautiful course has been kept updated while maintaining the classic design of its founders. Originally designed by the club’s first pro, Robert Johnstone from Scotland, it was updated in 1968 by course architect Ted Robinson and remodeled again in 1996 under the direction of Arnold Palmer. Seattle GC is truly one of the most outstanding golf courses in the Northwest.
