"What are you doing with that $4,000,000 you won?" - Russell Henley quizzed by NFL icon about recent prize money winnings

Russell Henley won the Arnold Palmer Invitational last week after edging out Collin Morikawa in the final round. The golfer not only took home his first Signature event title but also a hefty $4M winner's share, about which he was seen joking recently.

He will next be seen at the Players Championship this week. While preparing for the upcoming tournament, he was quizzed by NFL icon Rob Gronkowski about what he planned on doing with the $4M he won on the weekend. Gronkowski asked (via Golfbet's X handle):

"What are you doing with that $4 million you won the other day?"

Russell Henley appreciated the "great question" and wondered for a bit before Gronkowski congratulated him on his victory. Henley finally answered the former tight end, saying:

"I bought a nice bottle of wine last night. You need a loan?"

Gronkowski asked what would be his interest rate to which Henley laughed. He walked away, saying:

"We'll talk about it."

The NFL player further joked that he needed two and a half million dollars. Golfbet posted a video of the interaction on their X account.

Gronkowski also spoke to other players such as Si Woo Kim, Rory McIlroy, and Shane Lowry. The Players Championship will commence at the Players Stadium Course in TPC Sawgrass this Thursday.
