Singh, 63, has recorded five PGA Tour Champions victories since making his senior debut in September of 2013. He enjoyed a breakout season in 2018 with three wins, highlighted by his first senior major title at the SENIOR PLAYERS Championship and a win at the season-ending Charles Schwab Cup Championship. Singh finished a career best seventh in that season’s Charles Schwab Cup standings. The Fiji native’s last PGA Tour Champions victory came in 2023 at The Ally Challenge presented by McLaren. On the PGA Tour, Singh recorded 34 victories, including the 2000 Masters and PGA Championship in 1998 and 2004. From 1994 to 2009 he competed in every Presidents Cup, making eight appearances for the international team.
Toms, 59, has a PGA Tour Champions resume that includes five titles since making his senior debut in 2017. His first victory came at the 2018 U.S. Senior Open Championship, followed by the Ascension Charity Classic in 2021. The Louisiana native’s next two wins came in 2023 when he recorded his first career senior multi-win season, with victories at The Galleri Classic and Cologuard Classic. His most recent win came in his second start this season at the Chubb Classic. His four top 10 finishes in 2026, including two inside the top five, have Toms currently ranked No. 24 in the Charles Schwab Cup standings. On the PGA Tour, Toms recorded 13 victories, highlighted by the 2001 PGA Championship, in addition to being a member of three U.S. Ryder Cup teams and three U.S. Presidents Cup teams.
Weekley, 53, began his PGA Tour Champions career in August of 2023 and has since recorded 29 top-25 finishes, with 11 inside the top 10. The Florida native is enjoying a breakout season in 2026 with four finishes inside the top five, including two runner-up efforts and his first PGA Tour Champions victory at the Insperity Invitational. Weekley’s inspired play has earned him the current No. 6 ranking in the Charles Schwab Cup standings. His PGA Tour resume includes three wins, but he is widely known for his standout performance and crowd-pleasing antics at the 2008 Ryder Cup at Valhalla Golf Club that helped lead the U.S. team to victory.
Mediate, 63, became the 16th player in PGA Tour Champions history to win his Tour debut in 2013 at the Allianz Championship. He captured the second title of his rookie campaign 16 starts later at the Shaw Charity Classic and capped off the year with seven top 10s and PGA TOUR Champions Rookie of the Year honors. In 2016, Mediate won the Senior PGA Championship in record-breaking fashion, finishing at 19-under-par to secure his first senior major title. He picked up another win in 2019 and brought his win total to five in 2024 with his latest victory at Constellation Furyk and Friends. During his PGA Tour career Mediate recorded six wins and 10 runner-up finishes, highlighted by his iconic play-off loss to Tiger Woods in the 2008 U.S. Open Championship.
