Langer named Champions Tour Player of the Year

Following a season that included two wins and the season-long Charles Schwab Cup title, Bernhard Langer has been named the Champions Tour Player of the Year for a record fifth time.

Langer captured the Constellation Senior Players' Championship as well as the San Antonio Championship, and he won the season-long race despite a playoff loss to Billy Andrade at the Charles Schwab Cup Championship. His Schwab Cup title was the third of his career, following wins in both 2010 and 2014.

Langer, 58, earned the Jack Nicklaus Award as Player of the Year in a vote over fellow nominees Andrade, Jeff Maggert, Colin Montgomerie and Marco Dawson.
