Jiménez is on the verge of his sixteenth victory in the Champions Tour.
The almost of Miguel Angel Jimenez
Miguel Ángel Jiménez (-10), the veteran Spanish golfer known for his unmistakable charisma and relaxed style, has fallen just short of his sixteenth victory on the Champions Tour. On this occasion, the scenario was the Insperity Invitational, a tournament held at the Woodlands Country Club, Texas, where the player from Malaga finished in a creditable third position. Just one stroke behind the leaders, South African Retief Goosen and American Stewart Cink, Jiménez came close to the playoff that could have allowed him to fight for his third title of the season.
With very consistent rounds of 69, 67 and 70 strokes, Jimenez proved once again why he is considered one of the great names in world senior golf. His experience, mettle and precision allowed him to stay at the top of the leaderboard throughout the tournament. However, an untimely bogey on the 18th hole left him out of the final play-off, nipping in the bud his hopes of adding a new trophy to his already extensive list of honors.
Miguel Ángel Jiménez, Spanish Ambassador
The Malaga native from Churriana has been an ambassador of Spanish golf for years, and continues to show a very high level of play on the North American senior circuit. This Champions Tour season has been especially intense for Jimenez, who has already achieved two victories in 2025, consolidating himself as one of the main contenders throughout the year. His performance at the Insperity Invitational, although it did not conclude with a victory, reaffirms his consistency and competitive capacity.
This performance in Texas reinforces the good sporting moment of Miguel Angel Jimenez, who has maintained an admirable consistency since joining the Champions Tour in 2014. Since then, he has reaped multiple triumphs, including the famous Mitsubishi Electric Championship at Hualalai, one of the most prestigious events on the senior calendar. With a career spanning more than three decades, Jimenez remains synonymous with excellence, passion and longevity in the sport of golf.
The Insperity Invitational is one of the most anticipated events on the circuit, and the participation of figures such as Jiménez, Goosen or Cink adds a special dimension to the competition. In this edition, Jimenez came close to matching legends like Hale Irwin or Bernhard Langer in number of titles on the senior tour, which speaks of the privileged place he occupies among the greats.
In addition to Jiménez‘s outstanding performance, this weekend was significant for Spanish golf for other reasons. Although the DP World Tour did not hold tournaments during these days, there was Spanish representation in other latitudes. In the Reliance Matrix Championship, a tournament of the Epson Tour circuit, the young promise Carla Tejedo achieved an excellent performance. With a total of -6, the golfer from Castellón placed fourteenth, reaffirming her good start as a professional.
Tejedo, who recently made the leap to professional golf, is proving that his time in amateur golf has given him the necessary tools to compete at the highest level. His consistency and maturity on the course suggest a promising future. Meanwhile, figures like Jiménez continue to lead the way and show that longevity is also possible in golf, with discipline, passion and love for the game.
Miguel Ángel Jiménez, the star that shines to this day
Jiménez ‘s continued presence at the top of the Champions Tour tournaments is also a symbol of the good health of Spanish golf. Although many eyes are on young emerging talents, it is impossible not to admire the trajectory of the veteran from Malaga, who continues to add brilliant chapters to his sporting career.
At more than 60 years of age, Miguel Ángel Jiménez not only continues to compete at the highest level, but does so with the unique style that has always characterized him: pure Andalusian temperament, love for cigars, red wine and, above all, for golf. In every tournament in which he participates, Jiménez leaves an indelible mark on fans and opponents alike.
For all these reasons, although this time he has fallen short of his sixteenth victory, no one doubts that Jiménez will continue to put up a fight on the Champions Tour. His quality, experience and determination make him a regular candidate for victory, and it is very likely that he will soon taste victory again.
In short, Miguel Ángel Jiménez has once again shone in the Champions Tour, coming very close to adding another triumph to his legend. Although the final bogey on the 18th hole prevented him from reaching the playoff for the title, his performance at the Insperity Invitational has been outstanding. Spanish golf continues to have a first-class standard bearer on the senior circuit, and his name continues to generate headlines and attract the attention of followers around the world.
