Age is just a number, but can it hold back a golf legend? That’s the question on everyone’s mind as five-time PGA Tour winner Camilo Viegas, now 43, finds himself just one shot off the lead at the PGA Tour Q School presented by Kornferry. But here’s where it gets controversial. Is the PGA Tour becoming a young man’s game, leaving veterans like Viegas fighting for scraps? And this is the part most people miss. Viegas, despite his age and experience, is embracing the challenge. He openly acknowledges the influx of young talent, stating, “There’s so many young guys wanting to get on tour, and at the end of the day, we are getting a little bit older, so it’s become tough to play on tour in your 40s. Yet, he remains undeterred, fueled by his love for the game and the thrill of competition. I love the game,” he declares. “I love waking up in the morning trying to get better. I love the challenge. I love to compete. This passion is evident in his performance at Q School, where he’s positioned himself within striking distance of a top five finish, which would guarantee him full tour status for the 2026 season. Viegas journey hasn’t been without its struggles. A disappointing 2025 season saw him finish 155th in the FedEx Cup standings, forcing him to rely on his past champion status for limited starts. His last tour victory, an emotional win at the Bermuda Butterfield Championship in 2023, came after a 9-year drought and the devastating loss of his daughter. This victory granted him status through 2025, but now he’s back at Q School fighting to extend his career. The field at Qchool is a mix of seasoned veterans like Viegas and Hungry Young Talents. Michael Feeles, known for his 59 on the corn ferry tour in 2023, leads the pack alongside Trevor Conn, AJ Uert, John Pack, and Cota Ko, all tied at seven under. Is this the passing of the torch, or can Viegas prove that experience still reigns supreme? Beyond the top five, the battle for cornfairy tour status is equally intense. Adam Senson, Luke Gutschki, Doc Redman, Rio Ishiawa, and Spencer Levven are just a few of the notable names vying for a spot on the developmental tour. Viega’s story is a testament to the resilience and determination required to succeed in professional golf. Does age truly define a player’s potential, or is it the fire within that matters most? As Viegas tees off this weekend, the golf world will be watching, eager to see if experience can triumph over youth and if a veteran can reclaim his place among the tours elite. What do you think? Can Viegas defy the odds and secure his tour card? Or is the game moving too fast for him? Let us know in the comments below.
