Tourney winners (6)
I believe the answer is:
champs
'tourney winners' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for champs that I've seen before include "Heaven in Paris?" , "Title holders" , "frets impatiently" , "Munches noisily like abbreviated winners" , "Munches noisily like horse at bit" .)
