The Legends Tour, formerly known as the Women's Senior Golf Tour, is a professional golf tour for women over the age of 45. The tour was founded in 2000 by the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA). Since its founding, the tour has been organized by the LPGA.

It is similar to the Champions Tour, a golf tour for men over the age of 50. All golf tournaments on the Legends Tour take place in the United States.

In 2000, the tour was founded as the Women's Senior Golf Tour until it was renamed the Legends Tour in 2006.

In 2000, the first golf season began and there were two golf tournaments on the calendar.[1] From 2001 to 2006, 16 golf tournaments were organized.

Since 2006, the Legends Tour has organized a team golf tournament called the Handa Cup. It is a team competition between American female golfers and female golfers outside the United States. It is similar to the Solheim Cup, a team competition between American and European female golfers.

In 2009, the Legends Tour founded the Legends Tour Open Championship and it was the only "Major" of this golf tour until 2013.
