Langer Delivers In Final Masters Tournament Appearance

With the historic Masters Tournament taking place, we have witnessed some great performances and even a last go around. For one player in particular being Bernhard Langer, a veteran who played in his last Masters Tournament. Langer left it all out on the course just barely missing the cut, almost making history. History would have been Langer qualifying and making the cut, as the oldest in tournament history. Even though he did not get a chance to make an even bigger impact, he has gone down in the PGA Tour record books. 

Langer Saying Goodbyes

Turning pro in 1972, the veteran has an ample amount of experience under his belt. There are not many courses in the Tour that Langer has not blessed with his presence. With 47 career wins in his run thus far, his most recent play at the Masters Tournament has shown his significance to the sport. 

“As he exits the stage we really say goodbye to that remarkable generation that contributed mightily to the Masters history,” Jim Nantz said. 

At the age of 67-years-old, the sight of Langer competing with the names of Scottie Scheffler is truly remarkable. It was not the simple fact that the veteran was able to make an appearance, but also put on a true fight to make the cut. Although with a round one finish of 73 and round two of 74, his play was steady throughout despite the circumstances. In this 2025 season of play, he has one top five finish taking place at the Mitsubishi Electric Championship at Hualalai. After an Achilles injury held Langer out for the majority of the 2024 season, he extended his final run to this year deservingly so.

“This tournament was more meaningful to me than most people know, even in a spiritual sense,” Langer said Friday.

In The History Books

The first ever win at this tournament for the German and first green jacket, came in 1985. In 1993, he went on to win his second Masters Tournament and continue inking his name into the books. Making his final walk over the 18th hole, put into perspective for Langer the support he has had over his career. 

“There were lots of emotions flooding through my mind the last two days as I was walking down the fairways,” Langer said. “I saw my wife, I saw my four kids, and I saw two of my grandkids come out and support me, and friends from Germany and family from Germany. Just even friends from all over the world, literally, walking a few holes with me. It meant a great deal.”

With the 2025 season still in action, it’s expected for Langer to see himself in some more action. With the golf club slowly coming to a put down, Langer can hold his head held high by all means. One last appearance at the Masters was worthwhile, and just barely missed a chance for history.
