David Toms overcame a back injury and early double bogeys to win the 2026 Chubb Classic at Tiburón Golf Club in Naples, Florida, on February 15. He finished at 13-under par, one stroke ahead of Boo Weekley, Michael Wright, and defending champion Justin Leonard. The win marks Toms' fifth title on the PGA Tour Champions.
The 39th annual Chubb Classic, a 54-hole event on the PGA Tour Champions schedule, concluded on Sunday, February 15, 2026, at Tiburón Golf Club in Naples. David Toms, who entered the final round with a three-stroke lead after a second-round 9-under 63, faced challenges including a back spasm on the second hole. "I pulled my back on the second hole today with a 7-iron from the middle of the fairway," Toms said. "After I hit my tee shot on No. 6, I honestly thought I was going to pack it in. There were a lot of spasms…something I've had before. But, I started walking and just trying to stretch a little bit and it got better."
Toms started the day with double bogeys on holes 4 and 6, but managed birdies on 1, 4, and 5. He turned at 2-over 37, holding a one-shot lead at 12-under par through 53 holes, tied with Weekley, Wright, and Leonard. His scores of 67-63-73 totaled 13-under 203. A crucial birdie on the par-5 18th, where he got up-and-down from a greenside bunker, secured the one-stroke victory. "I did suck it up and hit a good one at 18, putting the approach right up around the green in two," Toms noted. "That was the key to victory for me today."
Boo Weekley posted a bogey-free 5-under 67 for the second straight day to finish at 12-under 204, his best result in 57 PGA Tour Champions starts. Michael Wright, the first-round co-leader with a 7-under 65, added 68-71 to also tie for second. Justin Leonard, seeking to defend his title, shot 66-68-70 for the same score, marking his fourth top-five in six recent starts. Local debutant George McNeill improved each round with 70-69-68 to tie for fifth at 9-under 207. "It was a ton of fun out here, but still very competitive," McNeill said.
Toms, 59, earned $270,000 from the $1.8 million purse and moved to second in the Charles Schwab Cup standings with $296,500. This victory is his first at the Chubb Classic in 10 appearances and his fifth on the tour, following wins at the 2018 U.S. Senior Open, 2021 Stifel Charity Classic, and 2023 Cologuard and Galleri Classics. Previously, Toms secured 13 PGA Tour titles, including the 2001 PGA Championship. World Golf Hall of Famer Davis Love III withdrew during the final round.
