American golfer Collin Morikawa made an excellent trip to Dubai last year, claiming the 2021 DP World Championship in style and posting a bogey-free six-under 66.
He won the European Tour title by three shots, leaving behind Alexander Bjork. With his win, Collin took home €2,640,970 in prize money, and Alexander was awarded €776,886.81.
Collin Morikawa became the first American to win the European Tour. In a battle at Jumeriah Golf Estates, Morikawa snatched the championship from defending champion Matt Fitzpatrick, who ended up clinching the second spot with Alexander Bjork.
It is important to note that Collin Morikawa began his journey with 22 consecutive cuts on the PGA Tour, just behind Tiger Woods, who scored a 25-cut streak. Morikawa reached the top of the World Amateur Golf Rankings and spent three weeks in that position.
Collin has been playing professional golf since 2019 and has had six professional wins. He won two major championships, including the 2020 PGA Championship and the 2021 Open Championship. Collin has won five PGA Tour events and four European Tour events in his career.
