NAPLES, Fla. (AP) — Bernhard Langer matched Hale Irwin's PGA Tour Champions victory record of 45 on Sunday, winning the Chubb Classic for the fifth time.
The 65-year-old Langer matched his age with a closing 7-under 65 for a three-stroke victory over Steve Stricker and Padraig Harrington.
Langer finished at 17-under 199 on Tiburon Golf Club’s Black Course. At 65 years, 5 months, 23 days, the German star extended his record as the oldest winner. He holds the top three spots on the list.
Langer also won Chubb titles in 2011, 2013, 2016 and 2022.
