Two of golf's best Spaniards are coming to Calgary for Rogers Charity Classic
Two of golf's greatest Spaniards, José María Olazábal and Miguel Angel Jimenéz, have confirmed they will return to Calgary for the 2025 Rogers Charity Classic, August 11-17. Article content One of the greatest Ryder Cup players of all time, José María Olazábal, will make his second appearance in Calgary. Olazábal soared to the top of Spanish golf after racking up 30 wins worldwide while competing on both the European Tour and PGA TOUR. His major breakthrough came at the 1994 Masters where he captured his first of two Green Jackets, with his second coming five years later. He made his PGA TOUR Champions debut in 2017 after being sidelined nearly four years while battling a severe form of arthritis that made it difficult for him to even walk. Article content Article content 'This tournament is known for its deep roots in the community, and its tremendous power to influence children's charities while making the world a better place for Canadian youth,' said Olazábal, who won six times on the PGA TOUR and competed for Europe seven times at the Ryder Cup before captaining the biggest comeback in Ryder Cup history for the Europeans in 2012. 'As a player, hearing this charitable focus is very powerful, and that makes this an event you want to align yourself with.' Article content Article content Olazábal becomes the fourth World Golf Hall of Famer in the field for Canada's lone PGA TOUR Champions stop, joining Ernie Els, Colin Montgomerie and Vijay Singh. Article content The Most Interesting Man in Golf, Miguel Angel Jimenéz, is sure to entertain the gallery in his return to Canyon Meadows Golf and Country Club. The number one-ranked player on the 2025 Charles Schwab Cup Money List is having the year of his life, having already racked up four wins. Often sighted sporting his trademark ponytail and smoking a Cuban cigar, the 61-year-old Jimenéz hopes to add a fifth victory to his sizzling run and get fitted for a white Stetson cowboy hat. Article content Article content 'The goal is always to compete to win. I'm still playing well. I'm still enjoying myself on the golf course. I still feel competitive, and I still feel I can compete, so I am having a lot of fun,' said Jimenéz. 'I love the golf course, and I feel I have the game to win any week, but you have to respect the rest of the guys (on the PGA TOUR Champions). They're very good players, competitors, and anyone can win the tournament.' Article content A four-time European Ryder Cup team member, Jimenéz is a 17-time winner on the senior swing and was runner-up at the 2017 Rogers Charity Classic. The colourful Spaniard has been a hit with the fans on and off the golf course in his sixth previous trips to the Stampede City. After matching a course-record 61 in his second round of the 2015 Rogers Charity Classic, Jimenéz began a tradition of heading into the clubhouse to put on the chef's apron and hat and whip up fresh prawns for spectators while drinking some fine wine.
