For the fourth time in 10 seasons, the winner of the Puerto Rico Open is a PGA Tour rookie. But Viktor Hovland isn't necessarily like the first-year players who have come before him. Since his debut as a professional last summer, the 22-year-old from Norway, a former All-American at Oklahoma State and the 2018 U.S. Amateur champion, has been impressive with his consistency. In 11 PGA Tour starts prior to Puerto Rico as a pro, Hovland had five top-25 finishes, made the cut in his first eight straight starts and posted a record 19 straight rounds in the 60s.
Hovland's birdie on the 18th hole to give him a one-stroke win over Josh Teater at Grand Reserve at Coco Beach allowed him to go that last step and join the other impressive players who turned pro last summer and have already won on tour: Matthew Wolff, his teammate at Oklahoma State, and fellow college standout Collin Morikawa. The win doesn't come with a massive payday since the Puerto Rico Open is played opposite the WGC-Mexico Championship and has a $3 million total prize money payout, but $540,000 is still the biggest check Hovland has cashed as a tour pro. Hovland also secures his PGA Tour card for two more years and earns spots at this year's Players Championship and PGA Championship.
Here's the prize money payout for each of the players who made the cut in Puerto Rico.
