<div>The Illinois State Senior Amateur Championship, conducted annually by the Chicago District Golf Association, was first held in 1987. The Championship is open to Illinois residents age 55 and older. It is a 54-hole event, with the entire field playing 36 holes over the course of two days and the low 35 and ties playing the final 18 on the third day. The winner of the Championship is the recipient of the Earl R. Liff Trophy, which was claimed by Scot Frankenreider for the second-consecutive year in 2023 at Rockford Country Club.</div>
<div>As an Illinois State Amateur Championship, this event is part of the Better Through Birdies series where a matching pool of $5,000 has been designated by CDGA corporate partners in support of CDGA Foundation community impact programs. Donations made through the Illinois State Senior Amateur Championship will be made to the Chicago Area Golf Swing Club Scholarship Fund, a legacy fund of the CDGA Foundation. The scholarship award is given to disabled veterans or dependents of deceased or disabled veterans living or hospitalized in the Chicago District.
