Bernhard Langer is 65 years old and a well-known German professional golfer. He is one of five golfers who have won professional golf events on all six continents where golf is played. He has victories on all the premiere tours, with 42 wins on the European Tour (2nd most all-time), three on the PGA Tour, and numerous international victories, including wins on the Japan Golf Tour, Asian Tour, Australasian Tour, and the Tour de las Américas.
Who is Bernhard Langer’s coach, Willy Hoffman?
Willy Hoffman is the coach for Bernhard Langer. He has coached Langer for almost 50 years but passed away early last year.
“I think I was in my 20s or 30s; I can’t recall the day exactly, he said something like, we’re going to have to change your technique a little bit because I still want you to play well in your 40s, and your 50s and your 60s and your 70s,” Langer remembered.
The late Hoffman told Langer the tendency was causing further back problems related to an injury he had as a teenager.
“I hurt my back when I was in the Air Force at age 19, had a stress fracture and a bulging disc, so it’s a miracle that I’m even playing professional golf,” Langer joked.
