2025 Rankings
PGA Tour Champions Players
Through ISPS HANDA Senior Open (Senior British Open)
August 6, 2025
Padraig Harrington won the ISPS HANDA Senior Open (Senior British Open) played at Sunningdale GC. He had two previous seconds in the event.
“I'm just thrilled to have won the tournament and gone out there and played well,” he said after the victory. “You were talking about how I won The Open, to win the Senior Open, there's only five players, so you want to be in that category.”
Harrington said he did not look at the leaderboard all day until the 18th hole.
Surprisingly, he had a very bad warmup.
“I just think when you go out like that, you just are prepared to get the job done with wherever the ball goes. You're going to hit the shot. You're going to get it. Your expectations go down,” he explained about that situation.
To compensate, Harrington said he tried to make a smooth, slow swing the entire round.
“It worked very nicely but I was prepared for a fight to be honest,” he admitted. “I was surprised I probably played as well as I did, and I had a lot of nice chances all day.”
Those watching him play said he looked relaxed, but that’s the last thing Harrington wants to do while playing golf.
“I don't want to relax. That has cost me in the past. One of my worst traits is when I lost a Senior PGA a few weeks ago by relaxing. I get ahead of myself, and you know, sometimes when it's an easy shot, easy tee shot, I can lose focus,” he added.
He said he wanted to stay “hyped up.” Being uncomfortable with his swing, he suggested, may have actually helped him to victory.
Harrington is in 2nd place in the Power Performance Rankings after his victory. Stewart Cink is still No. 1.

Rankings are based on 12-month performances of Champions Tour players. When a tournament is played, the previous year’s results are dropped. 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.
