Professional career

[edit]

Čejka turned professional in 1989 and played on theEuropean Tour from 1992 to 2002. His biggest tournament win was theTurespaña Masters Open de Andalucía at Islantilla Golf Club in 1995. That year he came 6th on the European Tour's Order of Merit. Since 2003 he played mainly on the U.S. basedPGA Tour. In 2003 he reached as high as No. 33 in theOfficial World Golf Ranking.

Čejka took a five-shot lead into the final round of the2009 Players Championship after rounds of 66, 67 and 72. He shot a 42 on the front nine, however, en route to a 79 and an eight-stroke loss toHenrik Stenson.

He represented Germany in theWorld Cup 12 times, including in 2011 atMission Hills Haikou inHainan Island, teaming with partnerMartin Kaymer to tie for second, two strokes behind the winning United States team ofMatt Kuchar andGary Woodland. Čejka teamed with Kaymer in four World Cup appearances.

In 2012 Čejka finished 177th on the PGA Tour and moved to theWeb.com Tour. He finished 64th in 2013, then 6th in 2014 to earn a return to the PGA Tour.

Čejka won his first PGA Tour event in his 287th Tour start, the2015Puerto Rico Open. Two players bogeyed the 18th hole ensuring a five-man playoff; Čejka won with a birdie at the first playoff hole.[2] He is the first golfer born in the Czech Republic to win a PGA Tour event and first non-American to win the Puerto Rico Open. At the time, he was also the third oldest first-time winner on thePGA Tour since 1970.[3]

He competed at the2016 Summer Olympics.[4]

With most of the sports world on hold due to theCOVID-19 pandemic, Čejka played on the Arizona-based Outlaw Tour, one of the few professional golf tours in operation during the pandemic, where he won two events.[5]

In May 2021, Čejka won his first tournament on thePGA Tour Champions at theRegions Tradition. Čejka won this major tournament in a playoff overSteve Stricker.[6] Three weeks later, Čejka won his second PGA Tour Champions major tournament of 2021 at theKitchenAid Senior PGA Championship atSouthern Hills Country Club inTulsa, Oklahoma. Čejka shot a final-round 67 Sunday to beatTim Petrovic by four shots.[7]

In July 2023, Čejka won theSenior Open Championship atRoyal Porthcawl in Wales on a blustery day with wet conditions. Čejka defeatedPádraig Harrington in a playoff to win the title. This was the third win of his seniorPGA Tour Champions career, with all three coming at major championships.[8]
