Charles Howell III made $42,025,458 in a PGA Tour career that spanned over 20 years and included 609 starts.
He’s now a sixth of his way after just a few LIV Golf events.
The 43-year old won the 2023 LIV Golf season opening at Mayakoba’s El Camaleon Golf Course in Mexico’s Riviera Maya on Sunday at 16 to win the $4 million top prize. Howell made $2,991,000 in six starts last year. He now has just under $7,000,000 on the upstart circuit that Greg Norman oversees and is financially supported by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund.
Peter Uihlein (12 below) will be runner-up and take home $2.125m. Branden Grace (10 beneath) will earn $1.5 million. Paul Casey (7 under), who finished fourth, earned $1.05 million.
