This is where legends speak! Get ready because the American Family Insurance Championship is swinging back into Madison! The 2025 American Family Insurance Championship is teeing off June 6–8 at the brand-new TPC Wisconsin, and it’s packing more excitement than a hole-in-one on a par five. This year’s twist? It’s a team event! 76 PGA Tour Champions players will pair up into 38 two-man teams and battle it out for a $3 million prize pool.
Last year’s winner, Ernie Els, pulled off an exciting win over tournament host Steve Stricker in a nail-biter. Both finished the tournament tied at 12 under par, but Els took the title and the $360,000 prize by winning in a playoff, just edging out Stricker, who earned $216,000. Both guys are coming back, ready to defend and reclaim their spots at the top. They’ll be joined by other fan favorites like Fred Couples, known for his smooth swing, and Jerry Kelly, a crowd-pleaser with tons of experience. And the best part? Watching it live is easier than you think. So how do you get your hands on tickets?

Can Ernie Els do it again?
The Big Easy, as we call him, Ernie Els, is having a strong season, and he’s looking more focused than ever. He’s already picked up a few big wins this year, including one at the Mitsubishi Electric Championship and another at the Principal Charity Classic. But the one that really stood out was his first senior major win at the Kaulig Companies Championship. It was a big moment for him, not just another trophy, but a personal milestone. “This has been a long time coming on this golf course,” he said. “I started playing here 32 years ago and never got a win. So this was really great.”
He’s also the defending champion at the American Family Insurance Championship, and with the kind of form he’s in right now, he’s definitely one of the top players to watch. His rhythm is solid, his confidence is high, and he’s showing everyone that he’s still got plenty of winning golf left in him. “I just thought of making putts, just a couple more putts and driving it better. That’s really the strategy I had today.” Reflecting on the victory, Els expressed his satisfaction. Ernie Els kept it simple going into the final round: tighten up the putting, hit it better off the tee, and stay steady. It worked. He added, “It’s always nice to win, especially in a playoff against a great player like Steve. I’m thrilled to get it done here.” He held his nerve in a playoff against Steve Stricker and came out on top. Beating the hometown favorite made the win even sweeter, and it showed he’s still got that competitive fire. Now let’s see if he can maintain his dominance at the AmFam Championship.
