Champions Tour Rankings Through Kaulig Companies Championship originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
Miguel Angel Jimenez won his fourth tournament this season and qualified for next year’s Players by winning the Kaulig Companies Championship.
Once again, the victory was in a playoff, this time a two-man contest, at historic Firestone Country Club and he defeated Steven Alker in the process.
“It was a nice finish, no?” Jimenez said after winning. “I hit a beautiful second shot on the 17th, hit the ball like two-and-a-half meters more or less and I holed the putt. And then on the 18th I hit a beautiful driver there and a 52 wedge and then make a putt for birdie up to there, no? It's really, really — I've been playing solid, very well.”
Jimenez became the first player over 60 to win four times, and the season is not over.
When asked what the key to his success has been, he said that he still had long tee shots, his irons were sharp and he still enjoys what he is doing.
The Kaulig Companies Championship is Jimenez’s third major. He has previously won the Regions Tradition and The Senior Open Championship. The victory is his 17th on PGA Tour Champions.
Stewart Cink, who did not play the Principal Charity Classic, remains in the top spot in the Power Performance Rankings.

Rankings are based on 12-month performances of Champions Tour players. When a tournament is played, the previous year’s results are dropped. Losing a high finish, dropping a low finish, adding a new high finish or a new low finish affects standings. Players must have a minimum number of points to be included in the rankings, but all players are tracked.
