PGA Tour Champions Players



 

Through The Cologuard Classic 

March 25, 2026

New Zealander Steven Alker repeated as champion of the Cologuard Classic.  It was his 11th victory in 100 starts, meaning he has averaged winning just over 10 percent of the PGA Tour Champions tournaments he entered.

Alker was not in the lead after the first or second round of the tournament. However, a second round 62, put him within striking distance of the leaders, Padraig Harrington and Thongchai Jaidee. 

His final round 65 pulled him into a tie with Harrington at the end of 54 holes.  The two went into a playoff which was won by Alker on the first playoff hole when he made birdie, and Harrington was unable to match.  

“Happy to have a chance to win the golf tournament and ultimately it all worked out,” Alker said after winning. “100th start, really special. I had no idea. It's just gone so quickly, I'm having so much fun out here.”

At dinner after round one, Alker’s wife became a soothsayer.

“There was like seven of us out at dinner. We were talking about I'm 9 behind, what do we need to do to get back in the golf tournament,” Alker said. “They were throwing numbers around, 65s, 66s, 64s.”

That’s when his wife offered some advice.

“Well, you haven't had a 62 for a while,” she reported said.  The next day, he shot the 62.  

Only one player moved more than four places in the rankings.     

Biggest Move Up: Tim Petrovic, from 31st to 27th.

Dropped for Insufficient Points: Rod Pampling, Joe Durant.

 


Rankings are based on 12-month performances of Champions Tour players. When a tournament is played, the previous year’s results are dropped. Losing a high finish, dropping a low finish, adding a new high finish or a new low finish affects standings. Players must have a minimum number of points to be included in the rankings, but all players are tracked.
