This was a pretty big deal. Davis is the oldest player to win in the modern era. 51y 4m. Only 2 older winners ever, both pre senior tour. Sam Snead is the oldest by just over a year, at the same tournament in 1965. This gets Davis into the FedEx cup playoffs this year. A 2 year exemption on the PGA tour. An invite to the masters next spring, etc. He is a great guy.
It’s absolutely a big deal and Davis is a great guy.
I’ve followed his golf for years and really thought his tournament play would end when he had spinal fusion surgery but thankfully I was wrong.
