Charles Howell pocketed $4 million at the first of LIV Golf's 14-event season on Sunday, producing a flawless final round to win at El Camaleon Golf Course in Mayakoba, Mexico.
"It's just a hole that does not set up well for me. I don't like the look of it. But, you know, I'm proud of the way I battled," he said. "Other than that hole, it was a pretty good day."The Saudi-backed circuit, whose slogan promises "golf, but louder," produced its usual party atmosphere but little in the way of competitive drama as many of the marquee-calibre names it lured away from the PGA Tour failed to make an impact in the 2023 season kickoff.
Hundreds of miles from Mayakoba at the PGA Tour's Honda Classic, Chris Kirk took home $1.512 million for overcoming fellow American Eric Cole in a playoff at the PGA National Resort in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. Kirk, who carded a one-under par 69, nearly had the win wrapped up when he drained an almost 19-foot putt for birdie on 16 but had to regain his nerve after a bogey on 18 forced the playoff.
"I'm so grateful for everyone that's supported me throughout the past three or four years especially," said Kirk, whose last PGA Tour win came in 2015. "I was obviously very, very nervous today having not won in so long. Coming down the stretch, I felt good. Obviously that putt on 16 was huge and was in a great position on 18, just made a bad swing at the wrong time."
