What’s your perspective on:
Will Stephen Ames secure a historic three-peat, or will a new champion emerge this year?
Have an interesting take?
It’s a loaded lineup. All eight past champions are back, including Hall of Fame icons Bernhard Langer and Mitsubishi Electric ambassador Miguel Ángel Jiménez. Jiménez enters as the only two-time winner so far this season on PGA TOUR Champions and currently leads the Charles Schwab Cup standings. He’s joined by other legends such as Ernie Els, Padraig Harrington, and Retief Goosen, making this one of the deepest and most competitive fields of the season. Langer, still a threat at 66, adds further intrigue as fans watch to see if he can notch another late-career win.
With elite players, a fan-favorite course, and comprehensive TV and streaming access, the 2025 Mitsubishi Electric Classic has all the ingredients for another memorable week on the PGA TOUR Champions. Whether you’re a longtime fan of the senior circuit or tuning in for the first time, this event is well worth your attention.
