His two Masters wins made him a pioneer for German golf, and his 42 European Tour titles rank second all-time.Langer has been a Ryder Cup mainstay, appearing ten times as a player and captaining Europe to victory in 2004. He was the inaugural World Number One in 1986, and he remains one of only five golfers to win on six continents. His longevity is unmatched: he became the oldest player to make the cut at the Masters at age 62, and he continues to compete at a high level in his late sixties.
