In winning the PGA Tour Champions' season-ending Charles Schwab Cup Championship, 67-year-old Bernhard Langer simply added more sidenotes to an already remarkable competitive story. Here are a few of them:
> He earned his record-extending 47th win on the PGA Tour Champions.
> This was his 18th consecutive year (17th consecutive season) with a win on the PGA Tour Champions.
> He has at least one win every year on the PGA Tour Champions, dating back to 2007.
> He extended his record as the oldest winner in PGA Tour Champions history (67 years, 2 months, 14 days) and he now holds the top six spots on the oldest winners list.
> This was his 14th win since turning 60 years old, most in PGA Tour Champions history and the 14 wins alone would rank T18 on the PGA Tour Champions all-time wins list.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Bernhard Langer, 67, won the Charles Schwab Cup Championship on Nov. 10 for his record-extending 47th PGA Tour Champions title.
