2026 Rankings
PGA Tour Champions Players
Through The Mitsubishi Electric at Hualalai
February 12, 2026
Stewart Cink, the 2025 Champions Tour Player of the Year, won the first PGA Tour Champions event of 2026, the Mitsubishi Electric at Hualalai.
“This is the winners' event, some great Hall of Famers here,” Cink explained. “It's such a great field that to win makes it even that much more special to know that you've beaten this field.”
Cink said he wanted to start 2026 “hot” and not have a year when he played his way into form. He had said early in the week that he wanted to shoot in the 50s this year.
“The year is young, and I didn't shoot in the 50s yet, but I think part of the idea is that in order to have that kind of mindset, you have to keep the pedal down, you have to play aggressive, you can't back up, you can't protect,” he explained. “You just have to take on a sort of aggressive, attacking mindset out there.”
Cink was able to post a bogey-free 64 in the final round. He said he knew the field was coming for him, and he didn’t want to be caught.
Biggest Move Up: Joe Durant, from 39th to 35th.
Dropped for Insufficient Points: Rod Pampling
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.
