PGA Tour Champions: American Family Insurance Championship 2026

The American Family Insurance Championship returns to TPC Wisconsin for the 2026 season, marking a significant venue in the PGA Tour Champions calendar. Held from June 5-8 in Madison, Wisconsin, this stroke-play event offers $3 million in prize money and attracts some of the world's finest senior golfers competing on the 72-par layout. The tournament's relocation to TPC Wisconsin represents an evolution for this established event, which has deep roots in the Madison community and continues to draw strong international fields.

TPC Wisconsin has proven to be an excellent test for Champions Tour competitors, hosting the championship since 2025 when Ernie Els claimed victory. Prior to the move, the event was held at the prestigious University Ridge Golf Club, where the tournament developed a rich tradition. Jerry Kelly won back-to-back championships in 2021 and 2022, with fellow competitors Thongchai Jaidee (2023) and Steve Stricker (2024) adding their names to the trophy. Stricker's victory was particularly poignant given his strong Wisconsin ties and success as a professional golfer.

The championship benefits from excellent infrastructure and fan-friendly amenities at its current home, making it one of the more accessible events on the senior circuit. With consistent prize purses and a competitive field that includes both established Champions Tour veterans and newly eligible players, the American Family Insurance Championship remains a marquee event on the calendar, celebrated for its strong organization and commitment to the Madison region.
