The National Qualifying Tournament for the PGA Champions Tour, commonly referred to as Q-School, is a series of events that determine which players earn membership and playing privileges on the Champions Tour, the professional circuit for golfers aged 50 and older. The tournament typically involves multiple rounds of play, where competitors must finish within a certain score to qualify. Successful participants gain entry to the Champions Tour events for the upcoming season, providing them an opportunity to compete at a high level in senior golf.

To obtain a Champions Tour card, a golfer typically must be 50 years old and qualify through the Champions Tour Qualifying Tournament (Q-School), which consists of multiple stages. Players can also gain eligibility by finishing in the top positions on the PGA Tour’s money list or by winning specific events. Additionally, past PGA Tour winners can gain direct entry into the Champions Tour. Successful candidates earn their card to compete in the tour's events.
As of October 2023, the record for the most career starts on the PGA Tour is held by golfer Davis Love III, with over 700 appearances. In the Champions Tour (now called the PGA Tour Champions), the record for most starts is held by Hale Irwin, who competed in over 1,000 events. These milestones reflect their longevity and consistent performance in professional golf.
The "Senior" Tour is not without reason, now called the "Champions" Tour. The obvious answer as to age is 50 years old. The more subtle, yet implied message is that to qualify, not any 50+ year-old can join. Otherwise the tour would be swelling with competent golfers who've gotten better because they've got nothing better to do. The name "Champions" implies that to qualify, you have to have some history on the Men's PGA Tour; to at least have participated, if not won events.
