Crazy prize money
Victory increases Straka’s chances of starting in Austria
Why Sepp Straka's third victory on the PGA Tour in La Quinta, for which he received over 1.5 million euros in prize money, has increased his chances of starting in Austria. And how the golf pro's triumph in California almost broke a record that not even golf giant Tiger Woods achieved in his heyday.
Only Lee Trevino (1974 Greater New Orleans Open), Sepp's close friend J.T. Poston (2019 Wyndham Championship) and Tom Kim (2022 Shriners Childen's Open) had previously achieved the feat of winning a tournament without dropping a single shot on the PGA Tour. Straka's dream of repeating this was dashed on the third-last hole. But that didn't matter to the Viennese: "I didn't think about that at all." Because he had enough to contend with in terms of being the hunted, having gone into the final round on the very difficult Stadium Course with a four-shot lead.
