The proud South African claimed the Sergio Melpignano Senior Italian Open in 2023, a title he also won in 2021, with the Swiss Seniors Open his other victory in 2022, a year where he would take the Order of Merit title too.
He also won the 2021 WINSTONgolf Senior Open Invitational, although this was not an official event that year.
He is one of the most consistent performers on the Legends Tour, finishing inside the top-15 on the Order of Merit in his 6 seasons – he finished 3rd in the rankings in 2023.
Kingston cites his tee-to-green play as the strength of his game and produced one of golf’s luckiest holes-in-one at the Dunhill Championship in 2002 after his tee shot hit a tree, took a lucky bounce and rolled straight into the hole – resulting in him winning a car!
James was a prolific winner on South Africa’s Sunshine Tour in the 1990’s. He would be crowned the Sunshine Tour Order of Merit champion in 2007 and that would also be the year he claimed the first of two titles on the DP World Tour – the 2007 South African Airways Open before going on to win the 2009 Mercedes Benz Championship.
