Lydia Ko and Jason Day had themselves a week, winning the Grant Thornton Inv. at Tiburon GC in Naples, FL. Their take home, $500k each — which is far more money than LPGA Tour tourney winners traditionally take home for lifting Big-A’s. Heck, last of the pack, Cheyenne Knight and Tom Hoge, ran to the airport early Sunday, each with a $60k debit in their respective bank accounts…
It’s nice to see the men and women competing together. And this was a strong field.
Surprise, surprise Ludvig Aberg finished top 3 in a tourney. That kid is going to win $10M+ and a major in 2024. Bank on it!
