The 2024 Kaulig Companies Championship final leaderboard is headed by winner Ernie Els, who topped the PGA Tour Champions leaderboard this week with a win on the 2024 PGA Tour Champions schedule at Firestone Country Club in Akron, Ohio.
Els won his first PGA Tour Champions major with a one-shot win over Y.E. Yang on 10-under 270. Els made critical putts on the 12th and 14th holes to keep his head above water, while Steve Stricker made a triple-bogey 7 on the par-4 14th to cost him a chance at another senior major.
Stricker's good friend Jerry Kelly finished in solo third place on 7-under total, while Stricker and K.J. Choi wound up in a tie for fourth place and another shot adrift.
Els won the $525,000 winner's share of the $3,500,000 purse.

There is no cut on PGA Tour Champions-run events, including the major championships they run. There was no cut this week in the erstwhile Senior Players Championship.
The 2024 PGA Tour Champions schedule continues in two weeks with the Senior British Open Championship.
