Miguel Angel Jiménez makes birdie putt to win Kaulig Companies Championship
PGA TOUR Champions stays in Ohio for the fourth major of its 2026 season as Firestone Country Club hosts the Kaulig Companies Championship.
Charles Schwab Cup leader Stewart Cink, who won the first two majors of the season before finishing runner-up at last week's U.S. Senior Open, headlines a field that features six World Golf Hall of Fame members. That group includes past Kaulig Companies winners Ernie Els (2024), Retief Goosen (2019), Vijay Singh (2018) and Bernhard Langer (2014, 2015, 2016). Other notables include defending champion Miguel Angel Jiménez and rookie Zach Johnson.
The 2026 event will mark the last at Firestone Country Club, ending a 73-year history of PGA TOUR golf in Akron. Beginning in 2027, the tournament will move to Newport Beach, California. The newly named Hoag SENIOR PLAYERS Championship at Newport Beach will be played at Newport Beach Country Club, which has hosted the Tour's Hoag Classic since 1996.
