I believe the answer is:

events

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'tournaments' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.

'golfer upset over new tee' is the wordplay.
'golfer' becomes 'Seve' (Severiano "Seve" Ballesteros n957-20nn).
'upset' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'over' is an insertion indicator.
'new' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation eg NT for New Testament).
'tee' becomes 't'.
'seve' back-to-front is 'eves'.
'n'+'t'='nt'
'eves' enclosing 'nt' is 'EVENTS'.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for events that I've seen before include "Noteworthy happenings" , "Episodes" , "Planned social occasions" , "promotions" , "matters" .)
