‘Good for Him’: Charles Howell III’s $4.75 Million LIV Golf Victory Proves Why He Chose the League Over PGA Tour, Fans React

Greg Norman’s efforts to rebrand the Saudi-backed circuit, LIV Golf League, are working. Charles Howell III, a new league member, has become the recent talk of the town. After performing in the first event of LIV Golf 2023 in Mexico, he is part of every headline. He has opened many other doors to opportunity for himself. However, he received criticism since he was on the PGA Tour and left behind his legacy to join the rival Tour. But now the question is, after his success, are the golf fans with him?

Is Charles Howell III the new shining star of the LIV Golf League?

Many new faces joined the LIV Golf League this year, but one is attracting attention. Dan Rapaport posted an update about the LIV defector in his latest tweet. It read, “Charles Howell III won a combined $2.75 million from his 3 PGA Tour wins in 609 starts. About to win in his 6th LIV Golf start and make a combined $4.75 million from individual and team win.” It is sure a milestone for the former number nine golfer on the PGA Tour money list of 2002.

His effortless performance made the winning look easy on Sunday. His putter turned into a magic wand, and he shot 8-under 63. As a result, he won the LIV Golf Invitational by four shots. The highlight of this scenario is that it was his first title in the LIV Golf League. His first times have been great during his career. The former PGA Tour pro won the sixth start of his career and the first start of the LIV Golf and took home $4 million. He also earned an additional $1 million for leading his team to a 9-shot victory.

The 42-year-old golfer from Augusta, Georgia, talked to Associated Press after his performance. He said, “It’s great. It’s a big win, and we got the team win.” And putting light on some facts, the Augusta-based golfer has only won thrice in 23 seasons and 607 starts while on the PGA Tour. His beginner’s luck has been very strong, given the details stated in the tweet by Rapaport. But did the fans take note of this achievement?

Did the golf world celebrate with the LIV defector?

The fans were not as excited as one would have expected. They were unhappy that Howell left behind the legacy and history of years for joining a league. Most of the comments showed that they did not care about this update. And the others were still favoring the PGA Tour. People pointed out that his wins have been on the American Tour, and the victory on LIV Golf was nothing to be glorified. Take a look at some of the comments from the golf world. Which will tell you what they are exactly feeling about Howell III.
