It pays to play well on the PGA Tour, folks. Just ask this week’s winner, Sam Burns.
The 25-year-old Louisiana native and former LSU Tiger made his professional debut on Tour at the 2017 Sanderson Farms Championship and came full-circle on Sunday, winning the 2021 event at Country Club of Jackson at 22-under following a 5-under 67 in the final round. The win is the second of Burns’ career on Tour following the Valspar Championship last May. The victory earns Burns a cool $1,260,000 million and those ever-so-valuable 500 FedEx Cup points.
