Langer family triumphs at special golf tournament
Bernhard Langer set a record in the summer, and now the insatiable German golf legend has once again won an extraordinary tournament: together with his son, Langer leaves a whole series of prominent teams in his wake.
Germany's golfing great Bernhard Langer has won the PNC Championship with his son Jason, beating Tiger Woods and his family team in the process. At the tournament in Orlando in the US state of Florida, Team Langer needed two strokes less than the team led by David and Brady Duval at the weekend. Woods and his son Charlie finished the PGA family tournament in a tie for fifth place, six shots behind the Langers.
It was Bernhard Langer's fifth victory at the event. The two-time Masters winner had already won the tournament in 2014 and 2019 with Jason and before that in 2005 and 2006 with his son Stefan. "I just enjoyed seeing my son today. For someone who only plays once every two weeks to perform like that under these conditions was great," said Bernhard Langer. Jason Langer works in the financial world in New York. "It was a challenge, it's cold in New York. We've been here since Wednesday trying to get in shape," said the 23-year-old.
At the event in Florida, which has become known as a father-son tournament, the rules have been adapted over time so that daughters are also allowed, grandfathers can play with grandchildren or granddaughters, or professionals can play with a parent. Golfers who have won either a major or the Players Championship are allowed to take part.
"It's just great"
"It's a great event. I always call it the fifth major because it's so great. To have the chance to play with your son or daughter and show them how it's done, it's just great. And to do that with other champions, to meet their families, it's really great," enthused Bernhard Langer at the presentation ceremony.
Langer was crowned the most successful player in the history of the US Seniors Tour in July with his 46th victory. The 65-year-old from Anhausen won the title at the US Senior Open and is now the sole record holder among the over-50s
The 15-time major champion Tiger Woods also visibly enjoyed the joint appearance with his 14-year-old son Charlie and, for the first time, his 16-year-old daughter Samantha as his caddie. Tiger Woods broke his right leg several times in a serious car accident in February 2021. Since then, the long-time world number one has only competed in a few selected tournaments.
