Who won the Champions Tour’s 2023 Insperity Invitational? Final leaderboard explored

Steven Alker fired a bogey-free 66 on Sunday to successfully defend his title at the PGA Tour's Champions Insperity Invitational.

Alker posted scores of 66, 69, and 66 over three days on aggregate at 15 under, beating Steve Stricker by a four-stroke margin. The New Zealand native was emotional after his win at Woodlands CC, remembering his former caddie, Sam Workman, who passed away in February due to cancer.

After the 18th hole, Alker pointed to the sky in tribute to his friend and then towards the crowd, which included Workman’s family and friends who had worn Astros jerseys.

"It’s huge. You obviously see the emotion on 18, but I saw a sea of orange today, and it just reminded me of Sam. I had my son on the bag. It doesn't get any better than that," Alker told the PGA Tour.

Alker's son Ben carried the bag for him at the Insperity Invitational.

Alker became the first player to defend since Bernhard Langer to defend the Insperity Invitational. Langer's wins came in 2007 and 2008 but at different golf courses. The event was moved to Woodlands CC in 2008 after being hosted at Augusta Pines Golf Club for the first four editions.
