Charl Schwartzel wins first LIV golf event

South African Charl Schwartzel took home the top prize in the first-ever LIV Golf Invitational at the Centurion Club in London this weekend. He finished 7-under, one stroke ahead of fellow South African Hennie du Plessis.

Schwartzel, the winner of the 2011 Masters, won $4 million for his victory. His team, Stinger GC, also won the $3 million for the team event after all four golfers finished in the top 10, including three in the top three (Schwartzel, du Plessis and Branden Grace).

"I made it a bit more difficult than it should've been," Schwartzel, 37, said, "but I'm just proud of how I hung in and it's a great feeling.
