Despite big payout after win, Kisner still motivated by money
0:000:45AUSTIN, Texas – On Sunday Kevin Kisner won $1.745 million for his victory at the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play and the largest payday of his career on the PGA Tour.
“That's it? We need to get bigger purses. That was a lot of work,” he laughed following his 120-hole marathon at Austin Country Club.
Jokes aside, his winning haul is yet another sign of how far he’s come in his career, which began on the mini-tours after he graduated from the University of Georgia.
Kisner explained he began his career with $16,000 his father gave him to pay his way into mini-tour events and he has never taken the money he’s earned for granted.
