World Wide Technology Championship 2023 prize money payout in full

An inspired Erik Van Rooyen produced a finish for the ages to win the World Wide Technology Championship in Mexico.

The South African holed a 15ft eagle putt on 18 to complete his back nine in just 28 shots, with his closing 63 leaving him two shots clear of Matt Kuchar and Camilo Villegas at El Cardonal.

This was van Rooyen’s second victory on the PGA Tour, two years after his first at the Barracuda Championship back in 2021.

And the 33-year-old was overcome with emotion as he dedicated the win to his best friend and former college teammate Jon Trasamar, who is suffering from cancer.

“I was calm because there’s bigger stuff in life than golf,” van Rooyen said.

“If you look at my ball there’s music notes on there and the initials JT and it’s for Jon Trasamar, our best friend who’s got melanoma and he’s not going to make it. Every shot out there today was for him.”
