A bumpy rookie season on the PGA Tour changed drastically on Sunday for Colombia’s Nico Echavarria. After missing the cut in eight of his first 10 starts in the 2022-23 season, the 28-year-old Korn Ferry Tour graduate shot a closing 68 at Grand Reserve Golf Club for a 21-under 267 total to win the Puerto Rico Open by two shot over fellow rookie Akshay Bhatia.
With the win, Echavarria earned a spot into next week’s Players Championship as well as securing his PGA Tour card for two years. Not bad for a golfer who was 144th in the FedEx Cup points standings starting the week.
A two-time winner on the PGA Tour Latinoamerica in 2018, Echavarria had made a mere $195,458 on the season, a $138,908 check for his T-12 at the Sony Open in January his biggest payday. But that changed in Puerto Rico, where he earned the $684,000 first-place prize money payout from the $3.8 million purse.
Here's the prize money payout for each golfer who made the cut this week in Puerto Rico.
