2026 Rankings
PGA Tour Champions Players
Through the ISPS HANDA Senior Open Championship
July 29, 2026
Jerry Kelly, now 59, won his third PGA Tour Champions major, the ISPS HANDA Senior Open Championship at the Gleneagles Kings Course in Scotland. It is his 14th PGA TOUR Champions title.
He moves up from 37th to 23rd in the Power Performance Rankings with the victory. Zach Johnson is still No.1 in the Rankings with Stewart Cink in second place.
Kelly had been injured earlier this season with a fracture of his T8 vertebra and before that had back spasms.
“The senior Claret Jug is the trophy that I've wanted as an over-50 golfer other than any other,” Kelly said after the victory.
When asked what was the best part of his game in the final round, he said it was his brain.
“In the past I would have gotten down that I wasn't striking it the way I'd like to strike it. But instead of worrying about that, I just went and took care of the next shot,” he explained. “I learned a lot about myself today, and I wish I would have learned it about 20, 30 years ago.”
Kelly added that he tweaked his back on the 6th hole, but just kept going.
“I just love it over here, I really do,” he added. “It brings it full circle that I didn't do what I wanted to in The Open Championship but to get it done here, I mean, I'm over the moon.”

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.
