2023 is well on the green for kiwi golfer Steve Alker. 

He took the opening tournament of the 2024 PGA Tour Championships by four strokes, making this his eighth Championship victory.  

This follows on from his second-place win in the 2023 Charles Schwab Cup. 

Alker told Tim Dower that you never quite know what you’ve got game wise coming into the new year. 

His win is attributed in part to a lucky shot on the seventh course, to which he said that while there is always luck involved, he was the one to make the putt and the eagle, helping with momentum.
