Retief Goosen won the Sanford International on Sunday for his fourth career PGA Tour Champions victory, closing with a three-under 67 for a two-stroke margin over Bo Van Pelt.

Goosen finished at 13-under 197 at Minnehaha Country Club. The 56-year-old South African star – the 2001 and 2004 US Open champion – won for the first time since The Galleri Classic in March 2024.

Van Pelt finished with a 68.

Ernie Els (73) and Darren Clarke (68) tied for third at eight-under. Charles Schwab Cup leader Miguel Angel Jiménez was seven-under after a 71.

Steve Stricker was unable to defend his title as he recovers from back surgery. He hopes to return to the PGA Tour Champions in December.

Stricker won the previous three years in South Dakota and has four wins there since the tournament began in 2018.

Goosen matched his low score for 54 holes on the PGA Tour Champions with his 197, having previously scored that in the 2021 Mitsubishi Electric Championship at Hualalai, where he finished second.

It was his fourth win on the PGA Tour Champions, to with triumphs in the 2019 Kaulig Companies Championship, the 2022 Hoag Classic,  and the 2024 Galleri Classic.

Els bogeyed each of his first three holes en route to three-over 73. This was his sixth top-three finish of the season (20 starts) as he moves up to fourth in the Charles Schwab Cup standings.
