• Charles Schwab Cup Championship: Became the last of seven multiple winners on the circuit during the season when he claimed one of the year's prize events, the Charles Schwab Cup Championship, defeating Jay Haas on the fourth hole of a sudden-death playoff at Desert Mountain Club in Scottsdale. After a two-putt birdie on the 72nd hole to tie Haas, made a clutch up-and-down par on the second extra hole to continue the overtime.

• Principal Charity Classic: In early June, won his third career victory at The Principal Charity Classic, defeating Doug Garwood on the second hole of a playoff. Emerged from a crowded leaderboard, grabbing the lead when he rolled in a 30-foot chip on No. 17.

Got his season off to a strong start when he was either second or third in four of his first five tournaments.

• 3M Championship: Claimed his second career victory, at the 3M Championship, when he birdied the final two holes for a one-stroke victory over Jeff Sluman and Corey Pavin. Win in Minnesota was his first in 51 PGA TOUR Champions events, dating to the 2009 SAS Championship, his first tournament as a PGA TOUR Champions member. Holed a 40-foot birdie putt on the 17th hole to tie Sluman and Pavin for the lead and then won the tournament with a two-putt birdie on the par-5 18th after hitting his second shot from 200 yards to within 8 feet of the flag.
• Encompass Championship: In late-June, closed with a 67 at North Shore CC to move into a T3 at the inaugural Encompass Championship.
• Greater Gwinnett Championship: Was in the mix early on the back nine and then late in the final round of the inaugural Greater Gwinnett Championship before eventually finishing T2 at TPC Sugarloaf. Appeared out of contention after making double bogey at the 12th hole. But three holes later, holed an 8-iron second shot from 157 yards on the par-4 15th for an eagle to draw within two of Bernhard Langer, who would go on to win by three.
• Mississippi Gulf Resort Classic: In late March, was just one off the lead at one point late at the Mississippi Gulf Resort Classic before eventually finishing T3.

• Allianz Championship: Started his year with a T2 at the Allianz Championship. Played in the final grouping with eventual-winner Rocco Mediate and carded a final-round 70 at Broken Sound to finish two strokes back. Had grabbed a share of the lead with Mediate with a birdie at No. 14. Missed a critical birdie putt at No. 17, giving Mediate a lead he never relinquished.

2012 Season

Played just 10 PGA TOUR Champions events due to fully-exempt status on the PGA TOUR. Missed the FedExCup Playoffs for the fourth consecutive season, finishing No. 186 in the FedExCup standings.

• PGA TOUR Qualifying Tournament: Competed at the PGA TOUR's National Qualifying Tournament, where he finished T87. Was T17 after 90 holes but a final-round 79 dropped him 70 places and failed to earn his 2013 card.
• Reno-Tahoe Open: Posted only PGA TOUR top-10 of the year in his 18th start, a T8 at the Reno-Tahoe Open, the first PGA TOUR event to use the Modified Stableford scoring format since 2006. Finished with 30 points, 13 behind J.J. Henry's winning total.
• U.S. Senior Open Championship: Played in the final grouping Sunday, with Bernhard Langer, at the U.S. Senior Open at Indianwood, but a final-round 75 dropped him into a T15. Started the final round with a double bogey and a bogey and was never a factor.
• Mississippi Gulf Resort Classic: Best PGA TOUR Champions effort was a T3 at the Mississippi Gulf Resort Classic, his first Tour start of the season. Shot 64 in the opening round and was just one stroke off the lead.

2011 Season

Split his time between the PGA TOUR and PGA TOUR Champions. On TOUR, claimed two top 10s in just 12 starts, including one at year's end which altered his plans for 2012. He was last exempt on TOUR in 2009 after finishing No. 80 on the 2008 money list. Enjoyed a nice PGA TOUR Champions season, garnering six top-10 finishes in 16 starts.

• Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Classic: Beginning the week of the Children's Miracle Network Hospitals Classic as the fifth alternate and ranked 143rd on the money list, he capitalized on his opportunity in the season's final official event. Posted a third-round, 4-under 68 to start Sunday tied for sixth and within striking position of becoming the PGA TOUR's second-oldest winner. Following a final-round, 3-under 69, he waited until virtually the last putt dropped Sunday to see if it was good enough to elevate him to within the top 125. Finished T3 at the tournament, worthy of a 121st place money-list finish and fully exempt status for 2012, at age 52, the oldest to ever earn exempt status from the top-125 category the previous year.
• Viking Classic: In mid-July, nearly became the second-oldest winner of a PGA TOUR event when he finished T2 at the Viking Classic in Mississippi. After a third consecutive 67, he finished at 21-under-par 267 and was the clubhouse leader until rookie Chris Kirk, playing three groups behind, made a key birdie at No. 17 to take the lead for good and go on to his first career win at 22-under par. Had he prevailed at age 51 years, 10 months, 12 days, he would have been the second-oldest winner in TOUR history behind Sam Snead, who was 52 when he won the 1965 Greater Greenboro Classic. He also would have been the first over-50 player to win on the PGA TOUR since Fred Funk in 2007, at the Mayakoba Golf Classic, and just the third member of the PGA TOUR Champions to win on the PGA TOUR, joining Funk and Craig Stadler (2003 B.C. Open).
• Nature Valley First Tee Open at Pebble Beach: Thanks to three straight sub-par rounds finished T5 at the Nature Valley First Tee Open at Pebble Beach in July.
• Regions Tradition: Was just two strokes behind 54-hole leader Mark Calcavecchia at the Regions Tradition before a final-round 74 dropped him to a 10th-place finish.
• Outback Steakhouse Pro-Am: Finished T5 at the Outback Steakhouse Pro-Am.
• Mitsubishi Electric Championship at Hualalai: Opened the season with a T13 at the Mitsubishi Electric Championship at Hualalai. Despite three rounds in the 60s, saw streak of top-10s on the PGA TOUR Champions end at nine straight.

• Children's Miracle Network Classic: Made a spirited run at a spot among the top 125 on the PGA TOUR, finishing among the top 25 in seven events. Came into the season's final event, the Children's Miracle Network Classic, at No. 133 and had an outside chance to earn fully-exempt status on the PGA TOUR before a final-round 74 dropped him into a T30 in the event at Disney and he finished No. 139 on the final earnings list.
• SAS Championship: In his next PGA TOUR Champions start after Korea, was a runner-up to Russ Cochran in defense of his SAS Championship title. Got within one stroke of Cochran after making eagle at the par-5 17th hole Sunday but eventually finished two strokes back. Made his first ace on the PGA TOUR Champions in the opening round, holing a 6-iron shot from 188 yards at the par-3 11th hole.
• Posco E&C Songdo Championship Presented By Gale Int'l.: After his showing at Pebble Beach, finished third at the inaugural Posco E&C Songdo Championship in South Korea. Fashioned a tournament-best, 8-under-par 64 Saturday to move into contention after an opening-round 74 and missed being a part of the two-man playoff by one stroke. Made a 30-plus-foot birdie at No. 17 to pull within one, but missed his birdie opportunity at No. 18 to finish third behind winner Russ Cochran and Fred Funk.
• Home Care & Hospice First Tee Open at Pebble Beach: Made a strong run at the Home Care & Hospice First Tee Open at Pebble Beach before finishing second to Ted Schulz by one stroke. Jumped into contention with a birdie-birdie-birdie-eagle run on the front nine (holes 3-6). Was tied with Schulz at several points during the back nine Sunday before coming up one stroke short when Schulz birdied the 17th hole and he could not convert a birdie putt of 25 feet at the final hole. Performance was his best on the PGA TOUR Champions since winning the SAS Championship in the fall of 2009.
• The Open Championship: For the first time since 1993, made the cut at The Open Championship, finishing T60 at St. Andrews.

Became the 15th player—and third player in 2009—to win in his first start on the circuit. Holed a 36-foot birdie putt on the final hole to edge Nick Price and David Frost for the title. Victory at Prestonwood was his first title since the 2001 International, ending a TOUR victory drought of 8 years, 1 month, 22 days, or 250 TOUR events.
