End of an Era

FOR THE 10TH AND FINAL TIME , the best PGA Tour Champions players will tee it up at Country Club of Virginia ’ s James River Course in Richmond . Though the future of the championship in Virginia remains uncertain , October will be a time to celebrate and reflect on the long run at CCV . It remains the opener of the PGA Tour Champions ’ Charles Schwab Cup playoffs and has produced only one two-time winner : Bernhard Langer . He won in 2017 and 2021 . Will the pattern repeat in 2025 ? There is plenty of action to keep tabs on prior to October , though , including five senior major championships .
