Bernhard Langer has once again made history by winning the Charles Schwab Cup Championship on the PGA Tour Champions, marking his 18th consecutive victory. The season finale, held at Phoenix Country Club, saw the 67-year-old German star overcome competitors with a spectacular 30-foot birdie putt on the last hole.
Shooting a 5-under 66, Langer not only matched his age but outperformed defending champion Steven Alker and Richard Green by just one stroke. This victory, extending Langer's record as the tour's oldest winner, comes a mere eight months after he suffered a left Achilles injury while playing pickleball.
Despite a challenging front-nine lead, Langer found himself in a neck-and-neck race with Alker and Green in the final moments. Ultimately, a precise putt on the par-5 18th secured his win, solidifying his legendary status in the world of golf.
