In November, Australian Peter Senior, at 56, became the oldest winner in event history when the Masters returned to its longtime home, Melbourne’s Huntingdale Golf Club. The roster of past champions includes Tiger Woods, Greg Norman, Bernhard Langer and Adam Scott. The tournament, first played in 1979, had been co-sponsored by the European Tour in 2006-09.
