Miguel Ángel Jiménez Clinches Fourth Senior Circuit Title at 61

Impressive Victory at Kaulig Companies Championship

In a testament to his enduring prowess, Spain’s Miguel Ángel Jiménez triumphed at the Kaulig Companies Championship on Sunday, winning his fourth title this season on the Champions Tour. The 61-year-old veteran golfer secured the victory with a six-meter putt in the second hole of a sudden-death playoff.

Experienced Victory Lap

With 21 European Tour titles and 17 on the Senior Circuit, Jiménez is no stranger to success. However, his latest triumph is particularly remarkable considering his age and the number of tournaments played. His career spans 37 courses and over 1,000 tournaments, with more than 700 on the European circuit alone.

“I’m Incombustible”: Jiménez on Retirement

“How am I going to retire? I am incombustible.”

Despite his age, Jiménez shows no signs of slowing down. He credits his rigorous practice schedule, including gym visits, for maintaining his competitive edge. Enjoying life’s pleasures, such as a good cigar, also keeps his passion for golf burning strong.

Overcoming Injury and Age Barriers

Jiménez’s success since turning 40 is particularly noteworthy. He has since secured 10 European Tour titles and 17 in the Senior Circuit. His resilience is even more impressive considering he broke his right fibula in 2012, potentially threatening his career.

Special Alliance: The Pink-P尽Handled Putter

Jiménez’s good fortune has been tied to a special putter—a gift from his wife, Suzanne, with a pink handle. Since its arrival in his bag, he has notched four Champions Tour victories this season.

The Road Ahead

With his victory, Jiménez takes the lead in the Charles Schwab Cup standings, with earnings of $2.34 million. He also earned an invitation to play The Players Championship in 2026, though he is uncertain if he will accept. His focus remains on the senior circuit, where he shares memorable moments with friends like José María Olazabal and looks forward to potential rivals like Tiger Woods.
