2025 Rankings
PGA Tour Champions Players
Through The Simmons Bank Championship
October 29, 2025
Steven Alker won his second tournament of 2025 and his 10th on PGA Tour Champions at the Simmons Bank Championship. Alker, along with 35 other players, will advance to the season finale, the Charles Schwab Cup Championship.
Alker won wire-to-wire.
“This is special. Anytime you go wire to wire, it's great. Like those seven-shot leads coming down the last, that's a nice feeling to have,” Alker said after the victory. “Knowing that I played well here last year in the first round, knowing that there's a score out there, I'm familiar with the golf course and I feel comfortable, that's huge when you're trying to win a golf tournament.”
He said playing on the Korn Ferry Tour against a lot of younger players was a key to his success on PGA Tour Champions.
The Simmons Bank Championship, the second in a three-tournament playoff which started with 72 players, was then cut to 54 players at the Simmons, and now will be reduced to the top 36 who will contend for the PGA Tour Champions Charles Schwab Cup.
The top five in the standings are now Alker in 1st, Miguel Angel Jimenez in 2nd, Stewart Cink in 3rd, Ernie Els in 4th, Thomas Bjorn in 5th, and Padraig Harrington in 6th.
Stewart Cink, Ernie Els and Padraig Harrington are major champions as are the following who qualified: Justin Leonard, Retief Goosen, Angel Cabrera, Darren Clarke, Y.E. Yang, Vijay Singh and Bernhard Langer.
Changes from the previous week:
Biggest Move Up: Freddie Jacobson, from 14th to 10th.
Biggest Move Down: Jason Caron, from 10th to 15th.

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.
