BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — The PGA Tour Champions starts a stretch of major tournaments at a course that's quite familiar to some of the elder statesmen.

The Regions Tradition starts Thursday in a move a few miles down the road from Shoal Creek to Greystone Golf and Country Club, where the senior circuit played the Bruno's Memorial Classic from 1992 to 2005. Now, John Daly, who turned 50 on April 28, joins the field for his second PGA Tour Champions event and first major.
Daly's not sure it's his type of course.
"Too many doglegs left for me, babe," he said. "There's a lot of them. It's going to be a tough one for me this week. If there's a golf course I need a 3-wood, it's this one, and I just don't hit 3-woods very good."
Daly did put his sense of style on display at Wednesday's pro-am, sporting pants dotted with pineapples.
Next up for Daly & Co. is the Senior PGA Championship during a stretch of four majors in seven tournaments.
Daly expects to play in seven majors this year, including the British Open and PGA Championship. He tied for 17th at 2 under in his PGA Tour Champions debut at the Insperity Invitational, which Jesper Parnevik won by four strokes.
