Handicap is not used in professional golf neither is age range, it's the best against the best.

It is in a few tournaments. The Wendy's 3-tour Challenge and the JCPenney Classic were two with mixed gender, players teeing off from different tees. (Seniors in the 3-tour Challenge had a closer tee, women even closer.)

The PGA champions tour is restricted to ages 50+
