Florida offers a LOT of appropriate courses to the PGA and LPGA.

Yes, Walgreens sponsored a Senior LPGA event (I don't even know if their is still such an organization) at Lopez, but apparently it was a one-off. The National "Shoot Your Age" Tournament was held at Palmer back in 2005 or 2006, I think, and it featured Arnold Palmer and Gary Player. Otherwise, I don't think these courses would qualify to hold a "Hooters Tour" event.
