For the 19th straight time, Charles Howell III made the cut at the Sony Open in Hawaii. It’s a pretty amazing accomplishment for the 40-year-old, who obviously feels comfortable playing at Waialae Country Club, as he’s never not played all four rounds in Honolulu. During this time, Howell has accumulated $US2.8 million in earnings in the event, more than any player in the tournament’s history. That’s a pretty amazing feat, too, considering he has never won it.
Howell was within shouting distance of the leaders entering Sunday’s final round (T-11, seven back of Brendan Steele and four out of second), but a one-under 69 wasn’t enough for him to finally pull out a victory at Waialae. Nevertheless, he remained the tournament’s all-time money winner with his T-12 finish. No.2 on Sony’s all-time money list is Jerry Kelly, who 1) played in this week’s event as a past champion, 2) made the cut but tied for 45th.
This week’s purse was $US6.6 million with playoff winner Cameron Smith prizemoney payout totalling $1.188 million.
Here’s a breakdown of the prizemoney payout for each play at the Sony.
