Peter Malnati is a winner again and tired of all the talk about money in golf

The Associated Press

Peter Malnati is a PGA Tour winner again and now gets to tee it up with big names at the Houston Open. In his group for the opening two rounds is Scottie Scheffler, the world’s No. 1 player who is going for this third consecutive victory.

But a big part of Malnati is representing the little guy, the career grinders who care just as much about competing without seeing golf through the prism of money.

And there is a lot of it in the game right now, brought on by the disruption of Saudi money funding LIV Golf, and the PGA Tour’s response by creating $20 million signature events for the elite in the game.

Malnati struck a chord with so many for his emotions when he won the Valspar Championship , only his second PGA Tour title and first in more than nine years. He said it was for his family and those who supported him, but also for tournaments that aren’t signature events in a new era that can leave them “wondering where they fit and if they matter.”

He elevated those thoughts Wednesday, saying fans are sick of talking about money.

Malnati recalled watching Michael Jordan’s clutch moments with the Chicago Bulls, or Tiger Woods winning the majors in record fashion.

“I didn’t care one iota what Jordan’s contract was. I didn’t care one iota what the winner’s check at that U.S. Open was,” Malnati said. “And I think people are sick of that. I think people are just sick of the narrative in golf being about contracts on LIV, purses on the tour, guaranteed comp on the tour. I think people are so sick of that.

“I just feel like no kid when they were watching Jordan dreamed of having his salary. They didn’t care about that,” he said. “They dreamed of being in that moment, hitting that shot. I think that’s what our fans care about, too. And that’s what they want to see.”

His comments came one day after Chris DiMarco, a three-time winner on the PGA Tour who has yet to win on the 50-and-old PGA Tour Champions circuit, laughed when he said on the “Subpar Podcast” that “we’re kind of hoping that LIV buys the Champions Tour.”

“Let’s play for a little real money out here. I mean, this is kind of a joke when we’re averaging $2 million (purses),” DiMarco said. “There were like seven guys last week from TPC (The Players Championship) that made more money than our purses.”

For Malnati, it was a career-changer in many ways. In his 10th year on the PGA Tour, he has never advanced beyond the first round of the FedEx Cup playoffs. He has played in only three majors — never on the weekend — and the victory got him into the Masters for the first time.

He also is exempt through 2026, a big deal for a guy who seems to struggle each year keeping his full PGA Tour card.

His career earnings are now just over $9.9 million, a bit more than half of what Viktor Hovland got last year from winning the FedEx Cup. Scheffler already has made more than Malnati’s career earnings in just three months this year.

For now, it’s back to work for Malnati. The Houston Open starts Thursday at Memorial Park, held for the first time since the fall of 2022 because it moved to a new date in the spring leading up to the Masters. The course is different with lusher, green grass instead of the Bermuda grass typical of Texas in the late summer and fall.

Scheffler is coming off wins at Bay Hill and The Players Championship , and he will try to become the first player since Dustin Johnson in 2017 to win three starts in a row.

He said he was worn out from winning back-to-back weeks on strong courses against strong fields. Scheffler is not one to look much further than the next shot, and a chance for three straight wins was not front of mind.

“When you show up at a tournament being No. 1, I don’t start at 1 under, I don’t start at 2 under, I start at even,” Scheffler said. “You’ve got to approach every week the same. You’ve got to put in the same amount of work, you’ve got to show up prepared.”

Top player Rory McIlroy will play at Zurich Classic

R ory McIlroy, 24-time PGA TOUR winner including four major titles and currently ranked second in the world, will make his debut at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans this year, announced Steve Worthy, CEO of the Fore!Kids Foundation, producer of the tournament.

McIlroy will team with fellow Irishman Shane Lowry, who himself added a major title to his playing resume when he won The Open Championship in 2019 in his native country.

“Both of these players have competed for Europe in Ryder Cup competition, so they are very accustomed to team play ,” said Worthy. “It’s always fun to see close friends partner in our unique format, and with their experience they will be both fan and on-course favorites,” Worthy added.

McIlroy, who joined the PGA TOUR in 2010, has carved out a remarkable career, making the cut in 213 out of 243 tournaments he has entered. He has won 24 times on the PGA TOUR and 17 times on the DP World Tour.

His record glitters with titles in the most prestigious tournaments around the world. He has three FedExCup titles; the DP World Championship twice; The Open Championship twice; and once each in the U.S. Open, the PGA Championship and THE PLAYERS Championship.

Although he is still seeking his first Masters championship to become only the sixth player in history to complete the Grand Slam, he has finished in the top 10 at Augusta seven times in the last 10 years.

He was named PGA TOUR Player of the Year three times, DP World Tour Player of the Year three times, won the Byron Nelson Award four times, the Vardon Trophy four times, and the Mark McCormick Award three times.

He has played on every European Ryder Cup team since 2010, with an overall record of 16-13-4. In the 2023 competition, he went 4-1 at Marco Simone Golf & Country Club outside Rome, Italy.

McIlroy turned professional at age 17, after declining a golf scholarship at East Tennessee State University when he was only 15. His first win on the DP World Tour came when he was 19 in 2009 and his first victory on the PGA TOUR came just a year later in 2010. At 22, he became the youngest player ever to reach €10 million in career earnings on the DP World Tour. In 2012 , he became the youngest player to reach $10 million in career earnings on the PGA TOUR.

He is currently ranked second in the world and has been ranked first in the world for 95 weeks starting in 2015.

Shane Lowry won The Open Championship in 2019 at Royal Portrush in his native Ireland, firing a course-record 63 in the third round to win by six shots over Tommy Fleetwood. He has won five other titles, four on the DP World Tour and the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational in 2015 that earned him his PGA TOUR card.

In addition to his title in The Open Championship, Lowry has posted a tie for third in the Masters, three top-10s in the PGA Championship and a tie for second in the 2016 U.S. Open, where he also finished ninth the previous year.

He has played the Zurich Classic four times in his career, most recently finishing 13 th teamed with Ian Poulter in 2022.

Lowry has played on the latest two Ryder Cup teams for Europe. He also made the World Cup team three times and played for Ireland in the Eisenhower Trophy in 2008.

He has played only five times in the U.S. in 2024. This season he tied for fourth in the Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches and finished third in the Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by Mastercard.
