NEW YORK, Dec. 4, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- SiriusXM
announced today that World Golf Hall of Fame member, multi-time
major champion and 2018 Charles Schwab Cup champion Bernhard Langer will host a new monthly show on
the SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio channel.
Langer is a marvel for the longevity of his success in
professional golf. In a career that has spanned more than
four decades he has won 111 professional events worldwide,
including memorable victories at the 1985 and 1993 Masters.
Since joining PGA TOUR Champions in 2007, he's won 38 times on that
circuit including 10 major championship events. Langer just
finished up another remarkably successful season. At the age
of 60, he made the cut at both the Masters and The Open, finishing
T-38 and T-24 respectively, ahead of many players who are half his
age. He completed his 2018 PGA TOUR Champions campaign with
two wins and 14 Top-10 finishes and earned his record fifth Charles
Schwab Cup season title.
Now Langer has his own SiriusXM show where he can share and
discuss the philosophy and methods that have enabled him to compete
at such a high level for so long.
Golfing Younger with Bernhard
Langer, which he will host alongside David Marr III, will debut live, December 12 (3:00 pm
ET) on the SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio channel
(SiriusXM.com/golfonsxm). Langer will discuss his routine, fitness
and mental preparation, and share his experiences from the European
Tour, PGA TOUR and PGA TOUR Champions. He will talk about the
game today, and share his insights into the atmosphere and
competition of major golf events like the Masters, the Ryder Cup
and more.
"I'm excited to host my own show on SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio,"
said Langer. "I have experienced quite a lot during my career in
golf and I look forward to sharing my stories, fitness and golf
drills, and thoughts on the game on an excellent platform like
SiriusXM that enables me to connect with golf fans across the
country."
Langer turned professional in 1972 and in 1986, he became the
first-ever world #1 in the inaugural Official World Golf Rankings.
The German-born Langer represented Team Europe as a player in 10
Ryder Cups from 1981-2002 and captained the Europeans to a
convincing Ryder Cup victory at Oakland Hills in Michigan in 2004. In 2002 he became the
first of his countrymen to be inducted into the World Golf Hall of
Fame. He added another prestigious honor in 2018 as the
recipient of the PGA TOUR's Payne
Stewart Award in recognition of his supreme level of
character, sportsmanship, professionalism and the way he upholds
the values of golf.
"What Bernhard has been able to accomplish in professional golf
for so long, so consistently, is really quite amazing.
Whether you are a pro or a weekend player, we can all learn a lot
when he talks about his approach to the game," said Scott Greenstein, SiriusXM's President and Chief
Content Officer. "We're excited to have him on SiriusXM PGA TOUR
Radio to share with our listeners his insight, stories, and perhaps
some of the recipes and techniques behind his extraordinary and
enduring career."
