Despite Winning $3,500,000 Prize Money, Humble Sam Burns Treats Himself With a $5 Treat

Sam Burns recently shocked the world with his unforgettable win at the 2023 WGC Match Play in Austin. The golf star has been in the news for several records in his career. However, this was his fifth PGA Tour victory. And the secret to his success? A special energy bar diet throughout the tournament!

What was Sam Burns munching on throughout the WGC Match Play?

“Sam Burns is one of us”, said Golf Channel after watching the American professional golfer eat one of the most common snacks in the US. And so was the reaction of every other fan who saw the golfer munching on his favorite PB&J! It took a lot of effort for Burns to claim his victory over Cameron Young in the final round. But thankfully, the golfer had something to support his game and keep himself full at the same time.

Fans are well aware of how much golfers love to gallop several cans of Gatorade and other energy drinks mid-tournament. After all, walking 18 holes takes an entire day for most players. And they need something to refresh themselves with now and then. But for Burns, it takes something else to give him the energy to continue playing on the field. And it is nothing more than an “Uncrustable”!

Known as one of the most loved ‘thaw and eat’ frozen sandwiches/wraps, Uncrustables are Burns’ favorite too! And it became clear when the golfer was visible casually munching on a $4-5 instant energy source! Burns thoroughly enjoying a lovely peanut butter and jelly sandwich on the go surprised fans. And the fact that it was not an expensive snack got his fans to relate to him even more!

The golfer took home the top prize of $3.5 million as his tournament winnings. But the Uncrustables definitely didn’t make a difference to how tired he was after the tournament! “What a week,” he said. “I’m so tired. That was fun playing Cam today,”. The PGA Tour star has been displaying impressive golfing skills in all his recent tournaments. He won three times during the last season and aced the Sanderson Farms Championship quite recently.
