Bernhard Langer claimed victory at the 2024 Charles Schwab Cup Championship, solidifying his remarkable legacy on the PGA Tour Champions. The 67-year-old German golfer overcame stiff competition, showcasing his trademark precision and consistency. With a final-round 66, Langer triumphed by one stroke over Steven Alker, and Richard Green, securing his 47th career senior title and further cementing his place as one of the most successful players in senior golf history.

This win was especially poignant, coming after his recovery from an Achilles tendon injury earlier in the year. The 67-year-old concluded the Tournament with a birdie on the eighteenth hole. As he sat down with SiriusXM PGA Tour, he shared what he felt at that moment. The channel took to its official Instagram account and shared bits of the interview with the winner.

Langer began by saying, “I felt I made a good stroke and when I looked up, it was more or less heading, the direction I wanted it to”. He added that he was doubtful whether it had the perfect speed to take the green and be able to land close. As he kept thinking, the ball did land where he wanted it to.

“I got more excited and then when it disappeared I was just everything broke loose.” Evidently, he could no longer hold back his emotions and had completely forgotten everything, and started celebrating the victory.

Well, this victory meant more than just the trophy and the prize money. Bernhard Langer advanced to No. 7 in the Charles Schwab Cup standings with his victory, and well that is not all for the accolades.

Bernhard Langer sets record with 18 consecutive annual wins

Ever since Bernhard Langer was eligible to play in the PGA Tour Champions in 2007, he has always managed to bag a win. At least one every year. However, this season was turning out to be different for him as he entered the final tournament at the Phoenix Country Club without winning.

“One more putt,” caddie Terry Holt told him on the 18th green, and Langer holed a 30-foot birdie putt for a 66 — his third straight day shooting his age or lower — for a one-shot victory in the Charles Schwab Cup Championship.

That marks 18 straight years with at least one win on the 50-and-older circuit, where time is the ultimate challenge. Few leagues have such a limited window for success, with each year bringing new, younger players to the fold as skills inevitably decline. What are your thoughts about the gameplay of the 67-year-old?
