Breaking Bernhard Langers Winning Record on the Champions Tour: “An Incredibly Tall Order”

Bernhard Langer holds the record for the most wins on the Champions Tour with 46 victories. Padraig Harrington, 52 years old and therefore only recently eligible for the seniors tour, already has eight wins. Last Wednesday, Harrington was asked by a journalist whether he or another golfer would be able to break Langers record.

Padraig Harrington: “It doesn’t look possible or likely”

“No. I’ve tried to do the math on it as you would say, the maths as I would say. It doesn’t look possible or likely, but the reality is it mightn’t be me but all records are broken, that’s just the way it is.”

“When somebody sets a record, it’s a goal for somebody else and they’ll chase it down eventually. Certainly for myself, it would seem like an incredibly tall order. Yeah, he’s 67, still playing great, which is amazing and an inspiration to us all, but to get to his amount of wins I think is a step too far for me”, said Padraig Harrington.

Bernhard Langer: The G.O.A.T. of the Champions Tour

In terms of both the total number of victories on the Champions Tour and the number of victories in senior majors, Langer is the G.O.A.T. – Greatest of all time – on the Champions Tour. The German has won a total of 46 tournaments on the Champions Tour, twelve of them in senior majors. The US American Hale Irwin has won the second most tournaments – 45 in total. Lee Trevino is a distant third with 29 triumphs. The figures for Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player are also impressive. Both are known to have won a total of 27 majors in the “regular majors”. But the two Hall of Famers have also won a lot in the senior category, with a combined total of 17 victories in senior majors. However, Bernhard Langer remains the ultimate winner on the senior tour for the time being, even if it has been a while since his last victory. On July 2, 2023, he won the US Senior Open, his 46th and last tournament to date.
