PGA Tour Champions Players
Through Principal Charity Classic
June 25, 2026
Zach Johnson won his second PGA Tour Champions event, the Principal Charity Classic, in his home state of Iowa. He also took over the top spot in the Power Performance rankings due to a number of very high finishes since he joined the Champions Tour.
Johnson joined the PGA Tour Champions in March after turning 50 on February 24th of this year.
At the Principal Charity Classic, Johnson shot a final round 67 to finish four strokes ahead of Retief Goosen and Richard Green.
Steve Stricker, who has previously been a top player on PGA Tour Champions, also played. It was his second event after being away due to hip replacement surgery and subsequent complications.
“It’s times like this where you really reflect on, obviously, the journey, reflect on the people surrounding you and helping, encouraging you,” Johnson said after winning. “Given this week and all that it entails being back home, then literally in a place I used to live, I felt like I had already won before I teed off. That honestly gave me a lot of freedom to just play.”
In the first round, Johnson opened with bogey-double bogey, but then played the next 16 holes in 6-under par.
“I've got a lot of nostalgia this week, a lot of certainly awesome reminiscing on these grounds and the city,” Johnson said. “I am very blessed. It doesn't have to be like this, I know that, so I don't take it for granted. It's hard to articulate. It's very special.”
He could not explain why he played the first two holes badly. He said he was not nervous.
After opening the tournament with a 69, Johnson followed that with a 63. He entered the final round tied with Brett Quigley and Australian Scott Hend.
Biggest Moves Up: Tommy Gainey, from 17th to 10th; Robert Karlsson, from 26th to 22nd; Steve Flesch, from 15th to 11th.

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.
