Tony Finau may have lost to Xander Schauffele in a playoff at the WGC-HSBC Champions on Sunday in Shanghai, but the Utah native received a nice consolation prize: over $1 million.
Schauffele’s third PGA Tour victory was his most lucrative by $225,000, cashing a winner’s check of $1.8 million. Finau’s second-place finish was worth $1.072 million.
