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 has added 2 more world titles to his resume since then (2014, 2015).
