World Golf Hall of Famer Bernhard Langer and Fan Favourite Miguel Angel Jiménez Return to Calgary for 2026 Rogers Charity Classic
CALGARY – One is the most accomplished player in PGA TOUR Champions history. The other is one of the game’s most charismatic personalities. Together, Bernhard Langer and Miguel Angel Jiménez will once again headline the field when they return to Calgary, August 17-23, for the 2026 Rogers Charity Classic.
At 68 years old, Langer continues to redefine longevity in professional golf.
The World Golf Hall of Famer has amassed a record 47 PGA TOUR Champions victories, including 29 since turning 57 and an unprecedented 14 wins after his 60th birthday. The only player in PGA TOUR Champions history to win after the age of 64 – Langer has done so five times – and remains the only golfer to capture all five senior major championships.
“Statistically, they say that guys win the most tournaments from age 50 to 55 on the PGA TOUR Champions, and then they kind of drop off. I’m trying to continue to prove them wrong,” said Langer. “It will be great to go back to Calgary. It’s our only stop in Canada during the year and they’ve done a phenomenal job over the years. Everybody loves the golf course and the crowds are incredibly enthusiastic. The organizers do a fantastic job, and Rogers is known for putting on an amazing event while raising an incredible amount of money for local charities.”
Langer’s remarkable career includes more than 130 professional victories worldwide, highlighted by Masters Tournament titles in 1985 and 1993, 12 senior major championships, and 10 Ryder Cup appearances for Europe. He also captained the victorious European Ryder Cup Team in 2004 and is one of only five golfers to win tournaments on six continents.
Few players have captured the imagination of golf fans quite like Jiménez.
Known around the world as “The Most Interesting Man in Golf,” the colourful Spaniard is as entertaining away from the first tee as he is on it. Sporting his trademark ponytail and often seen with a Cuban cigar in hand, Jiménez returns to Calgary on the hunt to finally secure a white Stetson to his trophy collection.
“The goal is always to compete to win,” said Jiménez. “I’m still playing well. I’m still enjoying myself on the golf course. I still feel competitive, and I still feel I can win, so I’m having a lot of fun. I love the golf course, and I feel I have the game to win any week, but you have to respect the rest of the guys on the PGA TOUR Champions. They’re great players and anyone can win.”
