In the era of the long ball, Langer still prospers. His remarkable consistency is perhaps best reflected in his European Tour records for consecutive cuts made (68) and consecutive years with a victory (17, shared with Seve Ballesteros). Langer was elected to the World Golf Hall of Fame through the International ballot in 2001, but chose to defer his induction until 2002.

Langer left school at age 14 to pursue golf as a profession. In 1976, he joined the European Tour. Just as Langer became successful, he developed the "yips." All of a sudden his hands no longer followed the instructions the brain was sending and the putter head seemed to leap forward on its own accord. But Langer is one of the few players ever to discover a cure. On four separate occasions, Langer conquered his putting woes.

Langer, whose father settled in Bavaria after jumping off a Russian prisoner-of-war train bound for Siberia, took up the game at the age of seven and turned professional 11 years later. He first came to prominence by claiming the 1979 Cacharel Under-25 Championship by an astonishing 17 strokes, an achievement which hinted at a huge potential waiting to be tapped.
