Hideki Matsuyama becomes Asia's most prolific PGA Tour winner with final-round 62 (he made some other history, too)

LOS ANGELES — Hideki Matsuyama has never been the demonstrative type. Opting instead for a robot-like approach to winning golf tournaments. Even after he gets the job done, he's often wondering what he could have done better.

Yet on Sunday at Riviera, despite not even knowing if the job was done yet, Matsuyama gave a hearty fist pump and and even heartier handshake to his caddie, Shota Hayafuji, after he holed his final par putt at the 72nd hole.

Surely, Matsuyama was thrilled with his performance, a final-round 62 that featured a back-nine 30. He stole the tournament from Patrick Cantlay, among others, winning comfortably by three strokes. It was a dominant effort worthy of a demonstrative celebration. At least by Matsuyama standards.

But there was something else at play on the final green. A record Matsuyama had long set his sights on. With the victory, his ninth, Matsuyama is now Asia's most prolific PGA Tour winner, passing South Korea's K.J. Choi, who has owned that record since his most recent PGA Tour win, the 2011 Players Championship.

"Reaching nine wins was one of my big goals, passing K.J. Choi," Matsuyama said through his translator, Ken Hirai. "After my eighth win I've been struggling with my back injury. There were a lot of times where I felt, you know, I was never going to win again. I struggled reaching the top 10, but I'm really happy that I was able to win today."

It's hard to believe given Matsuyama has churned out top 10s like a machine his entire career, but before Sunday, his last top-10 finish came at the Players Championship last March. His 20 starts in between were hardly poor, the former Masters champion collecting seven top-20 finishes in that span. But between not seriously contending and his injury, frustrations were clearly setting in.

Matsuyama later cleared up that it was actually his neck, not his back, that had been causing him problems for quite some time.

"First of all, to clear the information, it's been my neck that's been hurting," he said. "It's been really something that's been bothering for long time. Since the start of this year, it's been getting better, a lot better. There's no—it's stress free when I'm sleeping, too, so I think I had this feeling of I can do something special maybe this year."

A signature event win at Riviera is already as special as it gets. And that came with a bit of history, too. Matsuyama has now joined an impressive list of 14 players who have won at both Riviera and Augusta National, a list that includes last year's winner Jon Rahm as well as Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, Nick Faldo, Tom Watson and Ben Hogan, among others .

"Never thought about that before," Matsuyama said. "So I'll think about it."

Matsuyama has thought about winning at Riviera before, though. He said it was one of his goals ever since he became a professional. It holds special meaning to him as Matsuyama knows the club's owner, Noboru Watanabe, who is also from Japan.

Then there's the fact that this tournament is now hosted by Tiger Woods, making it extra special to Matsuyama. Unfortunately, Woods was not on hand on Sunday to hand Matsuyama the trophy, though he did congratulate him on Twitter .

"To win in this tournament was one of my goals ever since I became pro," he said. "After Tiger being the host, that goal became a lot more bigger. A little disappointed that I wasn't able to take a picture with Tiger today."

LIV player eyes massive world ranking leap after Asian Tour win

LIV Golf pro Carlos Ortiz won the Asian Tour's International Series Oman event on Sunday.

This week’s International Series Oman event, sanctioned by the Asian Tour, was dominated by LIV players from the get-go . But after Sunday’s final round, one LIV pro in particular is set to make a massive leap in the Official World Golf Ranking.

That player is Mexico’s own Carlos Ortiz . Ortiz put together an impressive seven-under 65 on Saturday at Al Mouj Golf in Muscat, the capital city of the small country on the Arabian Peninsula.

That pulled him out of a tie with major champion and fellow LIV player Louis Oosthuizen , handing Ortiz an extremely meaningful victory.

Anthony Kim to play LIV Golf event next week: Report

And not because of his $360,000 winner’s paycheck. Ortiz makes plenty of money playing on LIV, but what he can’t get while competing on the upstart tour is world ranking points.

The International Series Oman tournament, on the other hand, does dish out world ranking points due to the fact that the Asian Tour is recognized by the OWGR. That’s the primary reason 21 LIV players teed it up in Oman this week in the first place.

With OWGR rank being one of the few avenues into the four majors, LIV players need to get them somewhere to earn places in golf’s biggest tournament.

But Ortiz’s win will be even more impactful on his world ranking given just how far he had fallen. Before joining LIV, Ortiz played on the PGA Tour, where he captured one win at the 2020 Vivint Houston Open and rose to a peak ranking of 44, which is high enough to qualify for all four majors.

Since joining LIV, though, Ortiz has plummeted dramatically all the way down to No. 1,286. But that was before this week.

Now with an OWGR-sanctioned victory under his belt, Ortiz should skyrocket in the ranking come Monday morning when the latest data is released. (UPDATE: When the ranking was released on Monday, Ortiz jumped more than a thousand spots from No. 1,286 to No. 237 .)

And he won’t be the only one. Oosthuizen finished runner-up in Oman, which should improve his current ranking of 137. Other LIV players who finished in the top 10 at the International Series Oman tournament include Joaquin Niemann (3rd), Mito Pereira (T4), Peter Uihlein (6th), Matthew Wolff (T7), David Puig (T10) and Lucas Herbert (T10).

After his winning round, Ortiz spoke to his goals for the year, including paying in the majors.

“I hope this is the start of a great year. It means so much to win an International Series event,” Ortiz said. “I would like to play in majors this year and win on the LIV Golf League.”

With Oman out of the way, those LIV pros will now make the short trip to Saudi Arabia for next week’s LIV Golf Jeddah event. And they’ll have a new golfer to compete against when they get there, former PGA Tour star Anthony Kim , who will reportedly make his much-anticipated return to pro golf in Jeddah.

International Series – Oman, Asian Tour field announced

Golf in uae, golf in uae world.

Brooks Koepka, Sergio Garcia, Louis Oosthuizen, Charl Schwartzel amongst star players

The International Series returns in 2023, making its Middle Eastern debut at Al Mouj Golf, Oman, from 9 - 12 February with the Asian Tour’s enhanced tournament series’ strongest field to date.

The 132 player field includes golfers from 23 countries across 6 continents and is headlined by major winners; Brooks Koepka, Sergio Garcia, Graeme McDowell, Louis Oosthuizen, and Charl Schwartzel.

32 year-old Koepka, is a former World Number One and is a four time Major winner.

The all-time Ryder Cup points earner, Garcia, is joined in the field by fellow Spaniards Eugenio Chacarra and David Puig.

The all-star field also includes Chile’s two top-ranked players Joaquin Niemann and Mito Pereira.

Cho Minn Thant, Asian Tour Commissioner & CEO, said, ‘Re-introducing the International Series, with heavyweight stars such as these, in new markets like the Middle East, provides unimaginable exposure for the game of golf in locations where the potential for growth is enormous.’

Now in its second year, The International Series will contribute a total of over $20m to the 2023 Asian Tour prize funds. Comprising of 10 events, an increase from seven in 2022, this investment ensures elevated purses of minimum $2 million per tournament.

Alongside the numerous global players seeking to capitalise on the increased prize purse are Asian Tour stalwarts, Sihwan Kim – winner of the 2022 Asian Tour Order Of Merit, and Scott Vincent – winner of the 2022 International Series Order Of Merit.

The 30 year-old Zimbabwean who’s earned a coveted place in the LIV Golf League under captain Niemann, said, ‘With the introduction of The International Series and the clear pathway to the heights of LIV Golf, The Asian Tour is a really exciting place to be playing golf right now.

‘It’s always exciting to visit new places and it’s great that The International Series is breaking ground in the Middle East this year.’

Representing the region, Othman Ibrahim Almulla, Saud Abdullah Al Sharif and Faisal Mohammed Salhab, from Saudi Arabia plus Jordan’s Shergo Al Kurdi and Oman’s leading Amateur Azzan Al Rumhy will also showcase their talents in Oman.

Rahul Singh, Head of The International Series, spoke on the advancement of the events, saying, ‘Besides the exciting line up we already have confirmed, helping us kickstart the 2023 season, our aim with the series has always been continued growth.

‘With the names competing and the commitment we’ve made to growing the purses at each event, it shows we’re already achieving this, in just our second season.’

Dubai based Shiv Kapur (Ind), Jeev Milkha Singh (Ind) and MG Keyser (RSA), representing Jumeirah Golf Estates, are also committed to play.

‘It’s Life Changing’ - LIV Golfer On Asian Tour’s International Series

Anirban Lahiri was full of the praise for the introduction of the International Series which offers up a place on the LIV Golf League

• Sign up to Golf Monthly Newsletter Newsletter

When the International Series was unveiled in February last year it was heralded as the most significant development in the history of Asian golf.

As well as pumping in $300m into the Asian Tour, with the tournament purses ranging from $1.5m to $2m per event, the idea of the new Series was to drive greater fan engagement, attract new commercial interest and to help stabilise professional golf after the pandemic.

The 10 events on the calendar now form the backbone of the Asian Tour schedule and it sparked the beginning of a relationship with LIV Golf, which saw the winner of the 2022 Order of Merit, Scott Vincent, claim his place on the LIV Golf League and the Zimbabwean is now part of Iron Heads GC.

Anirban Lahiri joined the Asian Tour in 2008 and he is also now part of the LIV Golf League, the Indian is on Bryson DeChambeau 's Crushers GC line-up, and the 36-year-old believes that the current structure is as good as it's ever been.

"It’s phenomenal, I think just as a pathway to LIV, to the qualification event, to winning the International Series points list and getting a spot on LIV. It’s life changing. Every year someone’s going to change their lives pretty much. Even for the others who may not win the money list, they get an opportunity to qualify for next year. Even for those who don’t get to that, you still get fantastic fields for this," explained the seven-time Asian Tour winner.

This week the Asian Tour is breaking new ground with an event at Close House in England, next week they will do the same at Fairmont St Andrews in Scotland.

"This week you get to compete with some of the best players in the world. I think if I’m a rookie or if I’m starting out my career or if I’m trying to get better as a professional golfer and I can get into tournaments which have quality like this, you know it makes a very big difference when you go out and play with some of these guys or watch them play like when I did when I did 15 years ago, when I was just starting out. It made a huge difference, it impacts at so many different levels, I think it’s brilliant we’re playing in this region.

"We’re bringing a lot of the Asian golfers who don’t have much experience playing in the UK and Europe and I think that’s another huge positive. Every way you look at it, it’s phenomenal for Asian golf, It’s phenomenal for global golf because it’s not just Asians playing on this tour. We’ve got a whole bunch of Americans, Aussies, Europeans as well, so it’s brilliant, I think the more we have of it, the better."

Fellow LIV golfer Graeme McDowell echoed Lahiri's sentiments and the 2010 US Open winner would like to see an event head to his home country and possibly the 2019 Open venue Royal Portrush.

The International Series will conclude in November at the Indonesian Masters.

Indian Open 2024 golf: Japan’s Keita Nakajima wins title, India’s Veer Ahlawat finishes tied-second

Keita Nakajima carded 17 under par to win the title. USA’s Johannes Veerman and Sweden’s Sebastian Soderberg also finished T2. Anirban Lahiri missed the cut.

Japan’s Keita Nakajima won his maiden DP World Tour title at the Indian Open 2024 golf tournament, which concluded at the DLF Golf and Country Club in Gurugram on Sunday.

Nakajima secured a comprehensive victory as a 73 in the final round proved enough to hand him a four-shot win with a total of 17 under-par. He arrived into the final round on the back of a four-shot advantage.

The Japanese golfer had opened up a nine-shot lead at one point but a strong finish from home favourite Veer Ahlawat, American Johannes Veerman and Sweden’s Sebastian Soderberg, who all finished tied-second, cut down his victory margin.

"It feels amazing," Nakajima said. "I feel like this is the first win of a new professional career. This is my first year playing on the DP World Tour and I'm very proud to have won on the DP World Tour and very honoured to be playing here. I want to try and finish in the top ten on this tour and then go to the PGA Tour in 2025.”

This was only Nakajima’s 11th start and victory here has helped him move to 13th in the Race to Dubai Rankings and on top of the Asian Swing Standings.

Nakajima has also become only the fifth Japanese winner in the history of the DP World Tour. Players from Japan have notched seven DP World Tour victories overall.

India’s Veer Ahlawat, meanwhile, finished strong and went three under in his last three holes to finish tied-second. He ended up as the highest-ranked Indian golfer in the home tournament after scoring 13 under par.

India’s Manu Gandas finished tied-11th with nine under par while Karandeep Kochhar finished with eight under par to end up at T13 on the leaderboard. Shubhankar Sharma finished tied 31st.

Indian Open 2015 champion Anirban Lahiri, however, missed the cut. Lahiri is a two-time winner on the European Tour golf circuit and a seven-time Asian Tour winner.

The Asian Tour Championship field is headed by Andy Ogletree, Travis smyth, Hennie du Plessis and more.

While this event offers a significant payday, a win comes with the benefits that come with winning on the Asian Tour. Winners of these events get a two-plus season exemption on the Asian Tour, as well as berths into other big tour events.

2024 Hero Indian Open: Prize Money Breakdown and Winner’s Payout

D P World Tour continued with its Asian Swing stopping at India after Singapore. The DLF Golf and Country Club, a course endorsed by Gary Player , is hosting the country’s national open, jointly sanctioned by the DP World Tour and PGTI. This is the tenth year since the Hero Indian Open became part of the European Tour’s calendar. 

A victory here will pave the path for the Asian Swing Champion. As part of the revamped DPWT format, there will be five global swings and each swing will have its respective champion, and additional perks – a $200,000 bonus. Here is the full purse size and winner’s payout at the Hero Indian Open.

Hero Indian Open purse size breakdown

The 57th edition of the Hero Indian Open boasts an elevated purse of $2.25M, up $250,000 from last year . This is also the highest for the DLF Golf and Country Club event. Last year, German star, Marcel Siem pocketed $340,000 for his single-shot triumph over Yannik Paul . Keita Nakajima, the third-round leader, stands to gain $42,500 more this year. 

Hero Indian Open has a field rating of 92.05 with 15.83 points reserved for the winner. Also, of note is the 3000 Race to Dubai Rankings points available for players. Japanese rookie Keita Nakajima has surged ahead with a four-point cushion ahead of the final round. But the packed leaderboard offers hopes of a tough fight in the final round of the Hero Indian Open.

Players to watch out for on Sunday

Two big names headline the field, Rasmus Hojgaard , the twin brother of Nicolai Hojgaard, and Alex Fitzpatrick , brother of Ryder Cupper, and Matthew Fitzpatrick exited early on after missing the cut . But Keita Nakajima took the full chance to cash in on the opportunity drawing the spotlight to himself at the Hero Indian Open.

The 23-year-old earned his DP World Tour card through the Japanese Golf Tour’s Order of the Merit. The 2021 Asian Amateur Championship winner was the world’s no. 1 amateur for 87 weeks straight, shattering Jon Rahm ’s previous record of 60. Nakajima backed up his stellar 65 in the first two rounds with a 68 on the moving day. Gavin Green of Malaysia and French International, Romain Langasque , are chasing on his heels at 14-under.

Europe’s very own and once a PGA Tour hotshot, Matteo Manassero is tied at fourth at 13-under. Just two weeks back, the Italian netted his first DP World Tour victory in 11 years at the Jonsson Workwear Championship. Hometown favorite, Veer Ahlawat kept his chances alive shooting 69 on the moving day. Ahlawat is the lone Indian inside the top ten carving out a solo sixth in the packed Hero Indian Open leaderboard.
