Oldest Winners Ever on the Champions Tour
In the history of the Champions Tour, the PGA Tour's circuit for golfers 50 and older, only seven golfers have won past the age of 62. Three of those were 63. So far, only one golfer aged 64 or older has won on the Champions Tour, and that golfer appears multiple times on the list of oldest winners.
The Overall Record-Holder: Bernhard Langer, Age 67
In 2021, Bernhard Langer became the first 64-year-old to win on the Champions Tour, then won again at age 64. In 2022, he became the first Champions Tour golfer to win at age 65. Then, in 2023, he broke his own record again by winning again, multiple times, as a 65-year-old. And he just kept going: In 2024, he became the tour's first 67-year-old champ.For now, Langer's record stands at 67 years, 2 months and 14 days. That's how old he was when he holed his final putt in the 2024 Charles Schwab Cup Championship. Langer won that tournament by one stroke, shooting his age or better the last three rounds. Langer hadn't won all year after returning from an injury, but his victory in the season-ender not only extended his own record as the oldest winner. It also kept alive Langer's streak of consecutive years with a Championship Tour win — now 18 in a row, also (easily) the tour record.
And with that 2024 Charles Schwab Cup Championship victory, Langer now holds the top six spots on the following list of oldest senior tour winners.
