BRADENTON, Fla. ā PGA champion Collin Morikawa shook off an early mistake and played a steady hand on a Concession golf course known for calamity, closing with a 3-under 69 for a three-shot victory in the Workday Championship.
And there was a tribute to Tiger Woods, his golf idol growing up.
āWe don't say āThank youā enough,ā Morikawa said, referring to how much Woods has raised the profile and prize money in golf.
He finished at 18-under 270 and became the 24th player to win a major and a World Golf Championship title since this series began in 1999.
āIf there was no Tiger Woods, I just the think the tour and the game of golf in general would be in a worse place.
