Morikawa makes history by beating The Concession

Winner of the first World Golf Championship of the season, Collin Morikawa made his sporting history by becoming the first player to win a major tournament (USPGA 2020) and a WGC before the age of 25. Better than his compatriot Tiger Woods, to whom he paid tribute by receiving the trophy. A feat achieved when the American has only played 38 PGA tour tournaments in his young career.

On The Concession course in Bradenton (Florida), Morikawa (-18) returned a final card of 69 (-3). He won with three strokes ahead of the Norwegian Viktor Hovland (-15), author of the best score on Sunday (67), who finished tied for second with the Americans Brooks Koepka (-15) and Billy Horschel (-15).

Several members of the PGA Tour played the course on Sunday imitating Tiger Woods’ wardrobe – a red shirt and black pants – to honor their idol, who was seriously injured in a car crash on Tuesday. Tony Finau, Rory McIlroy, Jason Day, Justin Thomas and Patrick Reed were among the players who paid him the tribute.
