Having made a perfect start to 2015 with a victory last month in Hawaii on the US Champions Tour, the 51-year-old Spaniard is back on The European Tour and ready to break his own record as the Tour's oldest champion.
Having already set, and subsequently broken that record with victories in Hong Kong and Spain last season, it would take a bold observer to write off the great man, who has won 14 of his 21 European Tour career titles since turning 40 - another European Tour record.
"People talk about my age and ask if I can still win on The European Tour," smiled Jimenez.
"My answer to that is very simple: I would not be playing on The European Tour if I did not believe I could win. I play against a lot of young kids these days, but I still feel good and know that when I play to my best I can still compete against the young guys, so it is no problem for me.
The longevity of Jimenez's remarkable career means he has played through a dramatic period of globalisation in his sport, and he recognises how important countries like India can be for golf as he prepares to tackle the Delhi Golf Club for the first time when the tournament gets underway in a week's time.
