St. Louis, MO – Thomas Bjorn clinched his first individual PGA Tour Champions title with a dramatic 35-foot birdie putt in a sudden-death playoff at the 2025 Stifel Charity Classic. The event concluded Sunday, September 7, at Norwood Hills Country Club, delivering a thrilling finish for golf fans in St. Louis.
The 54-year-old Danish golfer, best known for captaining the 2018 Ryder Cup-winning European team, found himself tied at 12 under par after 54 holes with Australian contender Cameron Percy. The playoff took them back to the 18th hole, where Bjorn sank a curling putt from long range to seal the win.
A Milestone Victory
While Bjorn had previously captured a team title on the senior circuit, this marks his first individual victory since joining the PGA Tour Champions. The win marks a significant milestone in his post-European Tour career, adding to a long list of international achievements.
“I’ve been working toward this one,” Bjorn noted after the round. “To win in this fashion, on a great course like Norwood Hills, makes it that much more special.”
Percy’s Final-Round Charge Falls Just Short
Cameron Percy delivered one of the tournament’s most impressive performances on Sunday, carding a final-round 64 to force the playoff. Despite his momentum, Percy couldn’t match Bjorn’s birdie on the extra hole, leaving him still searching for his first PGA Tour Champions win.
