Bernhard Langer parents: Meet Walburga Langer, Erwin Langer
Bernhard Langer is the third child of Czech refugees Erwin and Walburga (Wally) Langer. The young couple met after his father escaped from a Russian prison camp in World War II.
Langer is the youngest of three children, and from the time he was born, he was against the odds. The doctor didn’t think he would make it, but he survived anyway. He describes his childhood as a happy one. While the essentials were taken care of, he would wear his brother’s clothes making ends meet.
Langer’s mother worked as a housekeeper, while his father was a bricklayer. He routinely went to church and was an altar boy in the Catholic church.
Langer’s family didn’t have much money, so his early golf experiences were humble ones. When Bernhard Langer was eight years old, his brother, who worked as a caddie, introduced him to golf. He adopted the practice and developed a love for the game. After discovering he had a natural talent, Langer started caddying for some extra pocket change.
