Spain's Miguel Angel Jimenez received the Lifetime Achievement Award 2024 for his 42-year career in professional golf. Jimenez began his career in 1982 and continues to play professionally.
The Spaniard did not have a successful beginning to his professional career, as it was not until 1988 that he was able to establish himself as a stable player on the European Tour, and his first victory at that level did not come until 1992. However, from that moment on he became one of the stars of the circuit.
Jimenez won 21 European Tour tournaments between 1992 and 2014, highlights of which include the 2008 BMW PGA Championship and the 2014 Open de España. He participated in 72 editions of the major championships with nine Top 10s and a second place in the 2000 US Open as his best result.
Jimenez currently plays on the PGA Tour Champions, where he has 13 victories, including three Senior major championships.
