Karis Davidson has credited a refreshing, extended break from professional golf last year for catapulting the Queenslander into career-best form in time for her first major start in over a year at this week’s KPMG Women’s PGA Championship.
Asked what she planned to do with her record-breaking windfall after the round, Jeeno Thitikul delivered a hilariously honest – and painfully relatable – answer.
The explanation for the increase was notable for what it means in the context of what the USGA is trying to do overall in elevating its biggest championship.
Robert MacIntyre’s RBC Canadian Open win with his dad caddieing for him is one of the best feel-good golf stories in recent memory. But a call home with his mother shortly after was just as awesome to watch.
The sheer number of pros who jumped past certain round-number prizemoney thresholds feels fairly shocking, even with the caveat that this was likely to happen.
