He now owns nine PGA Tour Champions titles and is coming off a 2025 season that included 19 top 25 finishes in 21 starts, 15 top 10s, three wins and three second place finishes. His impressive sophomore campaign culminated with his first Charles Schwab Cup title. Cink has not finished outside the top 11 over 17 starts this season and holds his No. 1 ranking in the Charles Schwab Cup standings on the strength of five wins and three second place finishes. The Georgia resident is the owner of eight PGA Tour titles, highlighted by The Open Championship in 2009 and received the 2017 Payne Stewart Award in honor of his character, sportsmanship, and dedication to charitable giving. Cink will be making his third consecutive start at this year’s Stifel Charity Classic. He has recorded two top-10 finishes at Norwood Hills with a third-place outing in 2024 and solo eighth-place finish last year. His tournament scoring average is 67.67.
Alker , 55, made his PGA Tour Champions debut in 2021 and recorded the first of his 14 senior wins in his ninth start that season at the TimberTech Championship. He has earned at least one victory each year since, including four wins in 2022¾the Senior PGA Championship counted among them¾and his first Charles Schwab Cup title. The New Zealand native won a second Schwab Cup trophy in 2024. Alker is currently ranked No. 3 in the Charles Schwab Cup standings with 10 top 10s, counting four wins. He has finished first or second in each of his last four starts (Rogers Charity Classic, won; The Ally Challenge presented by McLaren, won; PURE Insurance Championship, T2; Jefferson Lehigh Valley Classic presented by Sodexo, won). At the Stifel Charity Classic Alker has made three appearances that each resulted in top-20 finishes, two inside the top 10, and his tournament scoring average is 68.78. His best result came in 2022 with a T5 effort.
Block, 50, the head golf professional at Arroyo Trabuco Golf Course in Mission Viejo, Calif., made national headlines when he recorded a final-round hole-in-one while playing alongside Rory McIlroy in the 2023 PGA Championship at Oak Hill Country Club, in Rochester, N.Y. Block turned 50 in June and made his first PGA Tour Champions start last month with a T9 finish at the DICK’S Open. He has recorded three more top-10 finishes over his now seven senior starts, finishing T5 at the Rogers Charity Classic, T3 at The Ally Challenge presented by McLaren and solo third at last week’s Jefferson Lehigh Valley Classic presented by Sodexo.
Jiménez, 62, has established himself as one of the most accomplished players in PGA Tour Champions history since joining the senior circuit in 2014. The Spaniard is the owner of 17 PGA Tour Champions titles, including four wins during a career-best 2025 season highlighted by victories at the Trophy Hassan II, Hoag Classic, Principal Charity Classic and the Kaulig Companies Championship for his third senior major title. Jiménez has continued to excel in 2026 and is currently ranked No. 10 in the Charles Schwab Cup standings, recording 14 top-25 finishes, including eight top 10s, a runner-up finish at the Boeing Classic and top-10 performances at the U.S. Senior Open, Senior PGA Championship and Kaulig Companies Championship. A four-time Ryder Cup player, Jiménez has 21 international victories and is known as one of the game’s most colorful and enduring personalities. This will be Jiménez’s first Stifel Charity Classic appearance.
Langer, 69, became the oldest U.S. Senior Open champion and set the record for most PGA Tour Champions wins (46) with a two-stroke triumph over 2022 The Ally Challenge winner Steve Stricker in 2023 at SentryWorld in Stevens Point, Wis. Langer’s historic victory was his 12th senior major since joining PGA Tour Champions in 2007. His current PGA Tour Champions win total sits at 47 thanks to a 2024 season-ending victory at the Charles Schwab Cup Championship. This will be the sixth start at the Stifel Charity Classic for the two-time Masters champion. He has recorded four top–10 finishes at Norwood Hills, his best effort in 2024 with a playoff loss to Y.E. Yang. Langer’s tournament scoring average is 68.4 to go with earnings of $403,537. Langer’s incredibly consistent career includes at least one senior title each season through 2024 since making his debut on the 50-plus tour. This season Langer has recorded eight top–25 finishes over 12 events, including four top 10s and is ranked No. 42 in the Charles Schwab Cup standings. The Germany native was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 2002 and is ranked first on the PGA Tour Champions career money list with $38,688,924 in earnings. Langer’s resume includes a record six Charles Schwab Cup titles, winning the coveted season-ending trophy three years in a row from 2014 to 2016, and most recently in 2021.
Stenson made his official debut as a member of the PGA Tour Champions at The Ally Challenge presented by McLaren after being reinstated on August 25. The Swede turned 50 in April and has competed in six tournaments this season, including three senior majors, the Senior PGA Championship (T47), U.S. Senior Open Championship (T11), and ISPS HANDA Senior Open (T14). He earned his best PGA Tour Champions finish to date in his last start when he finished T2 at the PURE Insurance Championship. Stenson’s resume includes 22 worldwide victories, six coming on the PGA Tour highlighted by The Open Championship in 2016 at Royal Troon, The Players Championship in 2009, and the 2013 Tour Championship at East Lake to claim the FedExCup title. He also posted 11 European Tour (now DP World Tour) victories, including consecutive DP World Tour Championships in Dubai and has represented Europe in five Ryder Cups.
Weekley, 53, began his PGA Tour Champions career in August of 2023 and has since recorded 30 top-25 finishes, with 11 inside the top 10. The Florida native is enjoying a breakout season in 2026 with four finishes inside the top five, including two runner-up efforts and his first PGA Tour Champions victory at the Insperity Invitational. Weekley’s inspired play has earned him the current No. 6 ranking in the Charles Schwab Cup standings. His PGA Tour resume includes three wins, but he is widely known for his standout performance and crowd-pleasing antics at the 2008 Ryder Cup at Valhalla Golf Club that helped lead the U.S. team to victory. Weekley will be making his fourth start at the Stifel Charity Classic. His tournament scoring average is 71.22 and a T30 finish last year is his best result at Norwood Hills.
