    I don’t know is Phil ever goes full time on the champions tour. There will always be pga tour events for Phil which will take away from a full schedule with the senior guys.

    I never see Phil playing 36 events on the Champions tour; much less ala Langer at 64. If anyone thinks Langer is slowing down, I don’t think so.

    But there can be a case made for Langer to have his best chance to catch Hale, maybe play a little less. Only 4 dubs from Irwin now, it’s only a matter of time.

    I still think that even if Phil never plays a full schedule he will still be in the all time wins conversation for the champions tour someday. He’s that good.
