“Without a doubt. 15th, 16th and 17th. It was unbelievable the whole week. To have my kids here and my wife and my parents and everything, it’s a dream come true,” he said of the fans being an extra tool for him, via the LIV Golf website.
With the victory, Garcia earned a $4 million payday.
Garcia’s team, the Fireballs, also won the club portion of the tournament. The Fireballs took home $3 million for the win.
Garcia moved to third in the LIV Golf standings with the victory, less than two points behind fellow Spaniard Jon Rahm, who finished tied for 10th on Sunday.
