The United States Golf Association announced Jan. 13 that SentryWorld in Stevens Point will be the host site for the 2028 U.S. Senior Women’s Open and the 2034 U.S. Senior Open championships.
The two future tournaments will be the fourth and fifth USGA championships held at SentryWorld.
It will be the second time the course hosts the premier senior men’s championship. Bernhard Langer became the oldest champion at 65 years old when he won the 2023 U.S. Senior Open at SentryWorld.
“SentryWorld was built in part with championship golf in mind,” SentryWorld general manager Mike James said in a news release. “The 2023 U.S. Senior Open showed that the course can challenge the best players in the world when called upon. Hosting two more USGA championships keeps our focus and attention on maintaining the best version of SentryWorld as possible.”
SentryWorld hosted its first USGA championship in 1986 when Cindy Schreyer defeated 13-year-old Vicki Goetze, 3 and 2, in the U.S. Women’s Amateur Public Links final match. The USGA returned to SentryWorld in 2019 with the U.S. Girls’ Junior Championship. Lei Ye made a 3-foot par putt on the 36th hole to defeat Jillian Bourdage, 1 up, in the final.
SentryWorld, a public, parkland course, was developed by Sentry Insurance in 1982. At the heart of the 200-acre property lies the championship layout, designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. In 2013, Jones oversaw a major renovation led by architects Bruce Charlton and Jay Blasi.
“We are excited to return to SentryWorld and the state of Wisconsin to conduct these two premier senior events,” said John Bodenhamer, USGA chief championships officer. “We know that SentryWorld will be a great test for these championship fields, and the community has always been incredibly supportive of the USGA. Sentry has been a great partner, and we know there will be enthusiastic support from the region and community for these two national championships.”
Wisconsin has hosted 18 USGA championships, most recently the 2025 U.S. Women’s Open Presented by Ally at Erin Hills. The 2026 U.S. Mid-Amateur will be held at Sand Valley Resort in Nekoosa, and the 2027 U.S. Amateur Four-Ball Championship will be at Erin Hills.
The U.S. Senior Open Championship is for golfers 50 and older and open to any professional or amateur with a Handicap Index not exceeding 2.4. Padraig Harrington (2022 and 2025), Langer (2023) and Jim Furyk (2021) have won four of the previous five championships.
The U.S. Senior Women’s Open is open to professional golfers, and amateurs with a Handicap Index not exceeding 7.4, who are at least 50 years of age by the start of championship play.
“At Sentry, golf has always been a way to build relationships and bring people together,” said Pete McPartland, Sentry chairman and CEO. “From SentryWorld, to our USGA partnership, and our support of the First Tee, our involvement in the game reflects who we are and how we interact with our customers, our partners, and our communities.”
SentryWorld will also host the USNDP Midwest Sentry Showcase from July 3-4, 2026. A first-of-its-kind event, the two-day team event features State Junior Teams from the U.S. National Development Program representing Ohio, Minnesota and Wisconsin, bringing the teams together for two days of friendly competition.
