Senior Players Championship moving to TPC Potomac in 2010

The TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm has been named the host site for the 2010 Constellation Energy Senior Players Championship.

Baltimore Country Club, which has served as host for the Champions Tour's fifth major since 2007, will return as the host site for this championship in 2011.

"We are delighted to announce this one-year move of the Constellation Energy Senior Players Championship to TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm, and we would like to thank the TPC Potomac membership for affording this opportunity to our players, many of whom played there during the Kemper Open and Booz Allen Classic days, and will most certainly enjoy returning to since its incredible renovation," said Mike Stevens, Champions Tour president.

Constellation Energy has been a title sponsor on the elder circuit since 2003, having sponsored the Constellation Energy Classic at Hayfields Country Club, with the final staging of that event in 2006.

TPC Potomac at Avenel Farm, which hosted a PGA TOUR event from 1987-2004 and 2006, was recently named No. 12 on Golfweek's list of the "Best New Courses for 2009," after undergoing a recent facelift.

Baltimore Country Club's East Course has hosted several major events, including the 1928 PGA Championship, the 1932 U.S. Amateur Championship, the 1965 Walker Cup and the 1988 U.S. Women's Open Championship.

"Baltimore Country Club has enjoyed hosting the Constellation Energy Senior Players Championship for the past three years, and we look forward to welcoming back the best of the Champions Tour in 2011," said Michael Stott, Baltimore Country Club general manager and COO.

Jay Haas captured the 2009 edition, shooting a course-record-tying six-under 64 in the final round to edge Tom Watson by one shot.
