BIRTHPLACE

Bernhard Langer has been a dominant force on the over-50s circuit and is the all-time Senior Major Championship winner with 12 victories, the last of those coming earlier this month at the U.S. Senior Open. That triumph also saw him surpass Hale Irwin as the outright leader in most PGA Tour Champions victories with an astonishing 46. Has been in the upper echelons of the game for more than 20 years – the highlights being his two victories in the Masters Tournament at Augusta National in 1985 and 1993, winning 42 times on the DP World Tour and leading the European team to victory over the United States at Oakland Hills Country Club in the 2004 Ryder Cup.
