Did you know?

Bernhard Langer is one of the biggest stars of the modern era in golf. In addition to his many worldwide wins on the main professional and senior tours, he was the inaugural World No.1 male golfer when the Official World Golf Rankings were introduced in 1986.

In the 2014 Senior Open Championship played at Royal Porthcawl, his winning margin of 13 shots was the highest in the championship, the highest in a Champions Tour event and the second highest in any major championship. Langer returned to Royal Porthcawl in 2017 and won the Senior Open title for a third time; he added a fourth in 2019 at Royal Lytham & St Annes.

In winning the 2023 US Senior Open championship (at age 65), Langer recorded his 12th senior major championship title (beating his own record), and his 46th PGA Tour Champions win. This victory allowed Langer to draw ahead of Hale Irwin's 45 wins, for the most wins ever on the PGA Champions Tour

Langer lives in Boca Raton, Florida and his home town of Anhausen in Germany.
