    Golfer Steve Alker hasn't taken long to rediscover the form that led him to the season-long title on last year's PGA Champions Tour

    Golfer Steve Alker hasn't taken long to rediscover the form that led him to the season-long title on last year's PGA Champions Tour


    The New Zealander's won the fourth tournament on the 2025 seniors calendar - birdieing the first playoff hole to beat American Jason Caron in Tucson, Arizona.

    While top results haven't eluded him - Alker says it feels nice to break a winning-drought of almost 14 months.



    The win is Alker's ninth on the seniors tour - lifting him to second in this season's overall standings.

    American Russell Henley tuned up for this week's Players Championship by winning the PGA Tour's Arnold Palmer Invitational.

    GOLF COVERAGE WITH CROWN... THERE IS NOTHING LIKE A NEW CROWN. SIMPLY THE BEST.
