Climo's dominance in the world championships is unmatched; Harold Duvall (1982, 1985), Barry Schultz (2003–2004), Nate Doss (2005, 2007, 2011), Paul McBeth (2012–2015) and Richard Wysocki (2016, 2017) are the only other golfers with more than one open world title. In addition to his world titles, Climo has an unequalled record in the United States Disc Golf Championship (the premier event in the game), holding five titles (1999, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2007). Named seven times as the PDGA player of the year, Ken Climo was inducted into the PDGA Hall of Fame in 1995. He currently holds the PDGA records for both career wins and career earnings.

Though eligible for the Masters division (40 and over), he continues to compete and win in the Open division. He competed in the World Championships masters division for the first time in 2012, at the age of 44, and won by a large margin, for his 13th world championship title. He has added 2 more world titles to his resume since then (2014, 2015).

In his 20 years on the PDGA, Climo has notched 103 aces.

Climo, with Innova Discs has created his own special blend of plastic, known as KC Pro. Several discs are for sale in KC Pro, including the Aviar and Roc.
