CHAMPIONS

  • Langer became the third player in Champions Tour history to earn both honors in the same season, joining Lee Trevino, who did it in 1990 and Bruce Fleisher, who pocketed both trophies in 1999.

    Langer, a two-time Masters winner who is in the World Golf Hall of Fame, won three times in 2008. He captured the Toshiba Classic, the Ginn Championship and Administaff Small Business Classic.

CHAMPIONS

  • The usual suspects won. Jay Haas, Loren Roberts, Tom Kite and Tom Watson all titled. The highly touted younger players (by Champions Tour standards) also got to the winner's circle - Bernhard Langer, Eduardo Romero, John Cook and Jeff Sluman.

    There were fascinating majors, won by the elite of the tour. And Bruce Vaughan.

CHAMPIONS

  • Larry and Drew Nelson combined for a 10-under 62 on Sunday to win the event at 21-under 123.

    Last year, Larry and Josh Nelson won the trophy and proud papa Larry became the second father to win with two different sons after he and Drew titled in 2004.

CHAMPIONS

  • The Nelsons joined Tom and David Kite in the lead Saturday at the Del Webb Father-Son Challenge, both teams shooting 11-under-par 61s in the first round of this off-season Champions Tour event.

    Greg and Greg Norman, Jr. combined for a 10-under 62 to move into third place, while Davis Love III and his son, Dru, fired a 29 on the back nine to earn a share of fourth place at nine-under 63.

  • Colorado Golf Club just opened in 2007, but has been recognized as one of the top new private courses in the country.

    "Colorado Golf Club's pedigree on the American golf landscape is barely over two years old, but it lies on a piece of property that seems like it was destined to be the site of a great golf course," said PGA of America President Jim Remy. "The PGA of America is very excited to be able to host the Senior PGA Championship at Colorado Golf Club in the spring of 2010, which will connect the greatest senior players in the game to Colorado's enthusiastic and knowledgeable golf fans." The 2010 Senior PGA Championship will be contested May 27-30. Jay Haas will defend his Senior PGA title next year at Canterbury Golf Club.

CHAMPIONS

  • Azinger and Faldo will both be appearing at the non-official Champions Tour event for the first time -- Azinger with the late Payne Stewart's son Aaron, and Faldo with his son Matthew.

    "Obviously the Ryder Cup was a thrill for me and the entire U.S. team, but this will be a thrill of a much more personal nature, being able to play as a team with Payne's son, Aaron, against so many great players," said Azinger, who helped end a nine-year drought for the U.S. team.

CHAMPIONS

  • Bean finished four spectacular rounds at 20-under-par 268 for a nine-shot win over Gene Jones, the largest margin of victory in tournament history and the largest on the Champions Tour this season.

    Jay Haas managed only an even-par 72 in the final round and a tie for 16th place at four-under 284, but it was enough to win the season-long race for the Charles Schwab Cup.

CHAMPIONS

  • Bean completed only four holes but was even over that span. He is at 10-under par for the championship and is two shots clear of John Cook, who is two-under on his round through six holes.

    Rain poured on Sonoma Golf Club all day Saturday, and eventually play was stopped at 1:16 p.m. (et). After about four hours, the decision was made to call play for the day with no one completing more than 10 holes of the third round.

CHAMPIONS

  • Bean finished 36 holes at 10-under 134 and is one clear at Sonoma Golf Club.

    Overnight co-leader Nick Price, who is still searching for his first victory on the Champions Tour, birdied the last for a three-under 69 and is in the clubhouse at minus-nine.

CHAMPIONS

  • Mike Goodes is alone in third place at minus-five at Sonoma Golf Club.

    This is the final event of the season and it's reserved for the top-30 players on the money list, or in this case the top 29. Tom Watson is eligible, but is recovering from hip surgery.

CHAMPIONS

  • Cook finished the tournament at 16-under 197 at Oak Hills Country Club and won the event by three shots over Keith Fergus.

    Cook became the second player in tournament history to win two in a row. Jim Albus turned the trick in 1994-95 and these two victories are Cook's only wins on the Champions Tour.

  • James is a three-time winner on the Champions Tour with his last win coming at the 2007 Allianz Championship.

CHAMPIONS

  • Langer finished the championship at 12-under 204 thanks to a final-round three-under 69 and won by two strokes over second-round co-leader Lonnie Nielsen at The Woodlands Country Club Tournament Course.

    "These kind of moments, winning tournaments and lifting the trophy, that's what we practice for and work for," said Langer, who earned his fourth Champions Tour win and third this year. "It never gets old." Langer pocketed $255,000 and vaulted past Jay Haas and into first place on the Champions Tour money list. He closed the gap behind Fred Funk and moved to second on the Charles Schwab Cup list with only next week's AT&T Championship before the season-ending Charles Schwab Cup Championship.

CHAMPIONS

  • Langer completed 36 holes at nine-under-par 135 and was joined there by Lonnie Nielsen and Brad Bryant, who both shot 68 in the second round.

    Denis Watson is alone in fourth at minus-eight after shooting 66 in the second round.

CHAMPIONS

  • Champions Tour money leader Jay Haas shared second place with Joey Sindelar, one shot behind Bean at six-under 66.

    Sandy Lyle, Lonnie Nielsen, Brad Bryant and Wayne Grady were another stroke further back at five-under 67, and there were 27 players overall within five shots of Bean's lead after the first round at The Woodlands.

CHAMPIONS

  • Weibring held off Fred Funk, Ben Crenshaw, Nick Price and Jeff Sluman for his fifth Champions Tour victory overall and a $390,000 payday.

    It all came down to a pair of clutch putts for Weibring -- a nine-footer for par at the 17th that he thought he'd missed until it went in, and a 48-footer he lagged to inches at the 18th to save another par.

CHAMPIONS

  • Price, a three-time major winner in his PGA Tour career and World Golf Hall of Famer, completed 54 holes at eight-under 202 and is one clear at the East Course at Baltimore Country Club.

  • That changed on Friday.

    Crenshaw fired a four-under 66 in round two to move to the top of the leaderboard after 36 holes of the Senior Players Championship, the final major of the year on the Champions Tour.

CHAMPIONS

  • The fifth and final major of the Champions Tour season featured a tight leaderboard at the end of the first day at Baltimore Country Club.
