Bernhard Langer (born 1957) is a German golfing legend who claimed two Masters titles (1985 and 1993) and became the first-ever world number one when the Official World Golf Ranking launched in 1986. With 42 European Tour wins (second all-time) and victories on all six continents, he is one of only five players to achieve that global feat, and he was a Ryder Cup mainstay, playing on ten teams and captaining Europe to victory in 2004. After turning 50, Langer dominated the PGA Tour Champions, setting records with 12 senior major championships, 11 money-list titles, and the only career Senior Grand Slam. He also made history in 2020 as the oldest player to make the Masters cut at 62 years old, though his career was famously marked by a battle with the yips, including a crucial missed putt in the 1991 Ryder Cup. His remarkable longevity and consistency across decades cement his status as one of golf's greatest competitors.
