Bernhard Langer won the PNC Championship alongside his son, Jason Langer, and tied the record for most wins (5) with Raymond Floyd. The German-descent golfer has been on the rise since his debut in the 70s and is considered one of the best German golfers.

From the alleys of West Germany, Langer has traveled through all the golf-playing continents. After spending more than 30 years playing and traveling through countries, Langer has found himself two homes, one in America and one in Germany.

The 2x Masters winner was born in Anhausen in West Germany in 1957. After getting inspired by his brother’s caddying, Langer too visited the golf courses in Anhausen, which were only about 200. As the German turned pro in 1972, he started his traveling journey from Germany to America, to Asia, and the various parts of Europe.

Although Langer now has two homes, he mostly stays in America. The home away from home in America is in the state of Florida in Boca Raton at the Woodfield Country Club. In 2008, Langer described how easy the Germany-to-America transition was.

He found his wife Vikki Langer in South Florida, and the couple tied the knot in 1984. Langer moved to Florida and said, “I don’t get homesick at all. I’ve been traveling for 10 years.” He then credited his wife, saying, “I’m used to it [traveling]. Vikki helps a lot, especially in the United States. And I like this country and being here. I feel comfortable.”

As evident, Langer spends most of his time in his humble abode in Florida. However, the 42x DP World Tour winner does visit his hometown from time to time. And after winning the PNC championship, the legendary golfer has decided to visit his home in Germany again. He said in the post-win interview, “From now on, I’m on vacation, we’re heading tomorrow to Europe, to Germany, to spend time over there.”

The golfer has more than 100 titles and accolades to his name. The Hall of Fame golfer now has earned another title, but it was special as he did it with his younger son. Langer has previously won and attended the PNC Championship with other two older children, Stefan Langer with whom he won in 2005 and 2006, and his daughter, Jackie Langer in 2018.
