News about Bernhard Langer

Golf legend Bernhard Langer returns to golf on Friday as part of the PGA Tour Champions Insperity Invitational, three months after Achilles surgery and seeking advice from Aaron Rodgers. Langer one-ups Rodgers, as the 66-year-old had the same 'SpeedBridge' procedure to repair his Achilles. Rodgers could not get healthy enough to return to the NFL in three months, when the Jets regular season was still ongoing. Rodgers tore his Achilles four offensive snaps into his time as a New York Jet and did not play for the rest of the season. 

 Jon Rahm revealed his nerves got the better of him during his Champions Dinner earlier this week. As is tradition, the reigning Masters champion hosted a dinner for all the past winners of the major championship in the most exclusive gatherings in golf.  The Spaniard welcomed his guests with an Iberian themed menu that started with a mix of tapas and pintxos, including spicy Basque chorizo, and 'Mama Rahm's Classic Lentil Stew' - and dish made exactly to his grandmother's recipe by chef Jose Andres, who helped Rahm design the menu. However, despite having a home comfort, the 29-year-old admitted he still felt the pressure when it came to delivering his speech to the legends of the game.

Charlie Woods' son, Tiger Woods, continued to follow in the footsteps of his golf legend father during the second round of the PNC Championship. Tiger, 47, and Charlie, 14, competed in the annual tournament in Orlando, Florida for the fourth time together, placing tied-fifth at 19-under, while Bernhard Langer and his son Jason shot 25-under to clinch the Willie Park Trophy. Despite losing, Charlie inspired followers and even shocked the 15-time major winner.

ROME'S RIATH AL-SAMARRAI: The overwhelming majority of his clients know who he is and who he is, according to the salesman's estimate. However, every so often someone will turn up to those meetings on the golf courses of Florida with no idea of what makes him different. They'll see his swing, and you can be certain it's the best in the class because at 67, he'll still knock it where he wants to. They'll also hear his pitches and patter, and many businesses will prosper if their company is so upbeat they could charm balls out of lakes.

With a 74 on Saturday morning, the 63-year-old continued his first round of 71 with a 74, then came back to Augusta National to end his second round after play was postponed Friday. The 1992 champion, who put the final touches of his second round, was welcomed into the clubhouse at one-over, just one shot behind the predicted cut line, and was expected to make it to the final 36 holes. Couples will be the oldest player to make the cut at The Masters for 63 years, six months, and five days, beating Bernhard Langer's record from 2020, which was lowered to 63 years, 2 months, and 18 days.

Helen Cloney of Ashley Woods had a debut in the Daily Mail Foursomes when she and partner Ann Morris needed five extra holes to knock out Dorset rivals Sherborne in a first-round enigma. The septuagenarian friends took four-and-a-half hours to resolve the nerve-testing marathon tie. People thought we'd been lost,' a delighted Cloney, 70, said with a chuckle. Both of us were exhausted both physically and mentally.

Bernhard Langer has less reason than others to bemoan age's limits, but every so often he feels like a snag. That has translated to a little less than a dwindling number on a spreadsheet in the last year as he ticked his way to 65. 'They keep averages of pretty much everything these days,' he says of Sportsmail. 'I saw it with my driving distances.' I was at 280 yards for about ten years on the seniors circuit, so from 50 to 60, this year, I'm at 275 yards. It comes as a result of your age.'

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW BY RIATH AL-SAMARRAI: A decade ago this month? It may have been yesterday. And so Luke Donald is smiling his way into the midst of an amazing weekend. 'I can't believe it's been so long,' he says. "Even now, it's good to sit down and reflect about Medinah every so often.' That was always his style, a thinker more than a shouter, except for the time he wasn't one, when he stood on a bench and belted out songs with champagne-soaked hair.'
