Thitikul finishes eagle-birdie to claim CME Group Tour Championship and win record $4M prize

Down by two with two holes to play, Jeeno Thitikul knew exactly what was needed to capture the biggest prize in women's golf history.

And another eagle-birdie finish — for the second straight day — made it happen.

Thitikul won the record-setting $4 million first-place check by capturing the CME Group Tour Championship on Sunday. It's the biggest money prize in women’s golf history, bigger than even the winner’s shares in three of the four men’s major championships this year.

Thitikul shot a 7-under 65 on Sunday and finished the week at 22 under, one shot ahead of Angel Yin (66). Yin had a two-shot lead walking to the 17th tee, only to wind up settling for the $1 million runner-up check.

PGA Tour Highlights: The RSM Classic 2024, Final Round

NBC Sports Maverick McNealyÂ’s PGA Tour breakthrough didnÂ’t come by accident

Maverick McNealy has long had a deal with his grandmother, Marm, that every time he cashes a tournament check for over $50,000, he must send her flowers. Each top-10 finish also earns Marm a box of chocolates.

Now, though, McNealy was going to need to up the ante, admitting, “I should probably get her something a little extra special.”

ThatÂ’s because the 29-year-old McNealy is now a PGA Tour winner, his breakthrough, a one-shot victory Sunday at the RSM Classic, coming seven years after the former top-ranked amateur famously flirted with life as a career entrepreneur only to give professional golf his best shot.

What a decision that turned out to be.

“My mind’s gone blank, honestly,” McNealy said, nearly an hour after his winning, 72nd-hole putt dropped. “It was an unbelievable adrenaline rush there.”

Fitting, considering the journey heÂ’s taken.

McNealy was once a hockey player who dabbled in golf, rarely playing outside his region. But he knew his lean frame wasn’t built for college hockey, and as a Stanford legacy, he verbally committed to his hometown Cardinal, as a golfer, his junior year of high school. He was the third piece in a star-studded 2013 recruiting class that also included U.S. Junior winner Jim Liu and international prodigy Viraat Badhwar, so much so that he’d often joke that head coach Conrad Ray’s trio of signees featured three Nos. 1 – No. 1 in America, No. 1 in Australia and No. 1 in Portola Valley.

Yet, it was McNealy who piled up the accolades – 11 college wins, tying the school record shared by Tiger Woods and Patrick Rodgers; two Walker Cup appearances; world’s top-ranked amateur.

“I had no expectations on me, and everything seemed to happen by accident,” McNealy said. “It came really easily and kind of caught me off guard, to be honest.”

Scottie Scheffler Puts Final Mark on 2024 With Hero World Challenge Win

If his last event of 2024 is any indication, the World No. 1 may pick up right where he left off in 2025.

Scottie Scheffler ran away with the Hero World Challenge on Sunday, shooting a bogey-free 9-under 63 to win by six shots over Tom Kim and 18 other players.

The Texan won at Tiger Woods’s event last December in Albany then ran off a remarkable year including seven PGA Tour wins with a major championship (the Masters) plus Olympic gold in Paris. The Hero World Challenge is an unofficial win though the tournament is conducted by the PGA Tour.

His last stroke-play event was Sept. 1 at the Tour Championship, which he won to secure the FedEx Cup and its $25 million bonus.

Kritchanya triumphs in playoff to secure double titles at 4th JAT-NB3 Elite Series

The highly determined Kritchanya Kaopattanasakul produced a crucial birdie to edge out Pimpakorn Panyadilok in a nerve-wracking playoff, clinching victories in both the Girls’ A-Class and the Open category as the fourth JAT-NB3 Elite Series concluded at Lotus Valley Golf Resort on Sunday.
The 16-year-old from Chonburi delivered a stellar performance, outplaying her close rival after both finished tied at 3-over-par 219 in regulation play at the par-72 layout. Kritchanya carded a final-round 76, while Pimpakorn posted a 73.

“To be honest, I didn’t expect anything before that birdie,” Kritchanya said in a post-round interview. “I just checked the slope and the lie and went for my shot. It was a good recovery as I hardly hit the greens in the regular round.”

With this triumph, Kritchanya will shift her focus to a bigger stage as she aims to gain a wildcard entry into the LPGA Thailand next year.

In the Boys’ A Class, Panot Sukanant from Bangkok claimed a wire-to-wire victory, shooting a final-round 74 to finish at 1-under-par 215. He outpaced Trevor Cunningham by seven strokes, as Cunningham settled for his third runner-up finish on the tour with a final-round 75 and a total of 222. Panot also secured the Open title, defeating Nutpob Luengcharoenwatana by four shots.

“Overall, it wasn’t a steady round for me as I made many mistakes, especially on three straight holes from 7-9. Luckily, I still managed to fight back and win in the end,” said Panot, who is gearing up to compete for a spot on the national team in Khon Kaen.

Nutpob, however, took home the Boys’ B Class championship, with a final-round 74 and an overall score of 3-over-par 219. He narrowly beat Circuit 2 winner Jessada Chuangprayoon, who finished one shot behind with a total of 220 after a 75.

In the Girls’ B Class, Thanyanate Bhummabhuti captured her third JAT-NB3 Elite Series title, firing a 74 for a total score of 15-over-par 231. Thanyanate, who dominated the opening two series, carded three birdies against five bogeys in the final round. Natcherey Khunapasut finished second, seven shots behind, with a final-round 79 and a total of 238.

The Class C events, contested over 36 holes, saw Asakorn Hattabodee take the Boys’ title with a final-round 78 and a total of 15-over-par 159, two strokes ahead of Suwijak Prasitwanakul. Nonlaphan Khamkoet claimed the Girls’ crown, shooting a 76 to finish at 5-over-par 149. Siriyamas Thummarattanadee and Thammikar Hungchangsith shared second place with matching scores of 164.

Sanctioned by Trust Golf, the Junior Asian Tour (JAT), and Notah Begay III (NB3), the tournament showcases junior golfers in primary age divisions: Class A (15-18 years) and Class B (13-14 years), competing over 54 holes for Open Class rankings, while Class C (10-12 years) competes over 36 holes. Their performances count toward the JAT Order of Merit, the Junior Golf Scoreboard, and World Junior Rankings.

The event is part of a seven-tournament series leading up to the JAT-NB3 Asian Championship, offering participants a pathway to the NB3 World Championship in the US, scheduled for November 2025.
