It pays to play well on the PGA Tour. Just ask this week’s winner, Sam Burns.
The 26-year-old earned his fifth PGA Tour win Sunday at the 2023 World Golf Championships-Dell Technologies Match Play, the final match play event on the Tour’s schedule for the foreseeable future.
Burns outlasted a field of the Tour’s best and defeated Cameron Young, 6 and 5, to earn the top prize of $3.5 million. Young will take home $2.2 million for his runner-up efforts, with Rory McIlroy, winner of the third-place consolation match against Scottie Scheffler, earning $1.42 million. Even Scheffler will break seven figures with $1.145 million in winnings.
