Both Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry took home huge paycheques for their performances at the AT&T Pro-Am event held at Pebble Beach this weekend.

It was a 1-2 finish for the Irish in California, with McIlroy firing a final round of 66 to take home the title on 21-under, with Lowry making Birdie on the last to finish two strokes back in outright second.

As one of the PGA's premium events, the prize purse this week was a whopping $20 million and for winning the event, Holywood star McIlroy took home a staggering $3.6 million.

While Lowry wasn't able to pip his buddy to the trophy, he didn't leave California empty-handed as the 2019 Open Champion received a cheque for $2.16 million to cushion the blow of not taking home the title.

For McIlroy, yesterdays win was the first of his career at the iconic Pebble Beach, and he is hoping that this is a positive omen heading into what he last week described as a 'pivotal year' of his career.

“Some people would argue the golf courses I have won on are not up to a Pebble Beach or an Augusta, but to win at one of the cathedrals of golf is really, really cool,” McIlroy told CBS.

“I knew today was going to be tough, it was going to be exciting, there were so many guys around the lead and I guess with it being Pebble Beach I had to put that to the back of my mind and go out there and try to shoot a score, which I was able to.

“Really cool to have that walk up 18 and take it all in.

“I said to Harry (Diamond, his caddie) walking up the last, start as you mean to go on.

“I’m just as determined this year in any of the years I’ve been out here on the PGA Tour and to get this win this early it means a great deal and hopefully just keep the momentum going into Torrey Pines in a couple of weeks’ time.”

Starting the day a shot behind Ryder Cup team-mate Sepp Straka, McIlroy birdied the second and seventh to take the outright lead, but bogeyed the next to fall back into a three-way tie on 16 under par.

A birdie on the 10th edged McIlroy back in front and he doubled his lead with another on the 12th before striking the decisive blow on the par-five 14th.

McIlroy took an aggressive line over the corner of the dogleg and followed a 339-yard drive with a mid-iron on to the green, before holing from 25 feet for eagle.

“I’ve hit three really good tee shots up 14, the previous two times this week I didn’t take advantage of them and I was determined to take advantage today,” McIlroy added.

“I hit a perfect seven iron after that drive and to hole a putt like that across the green is a bit of a bonus, but it really gave me a cushion to play the last four holes.

“I was really proud of myself, I made that bogey on the eighth hole and to play the next few the way I did that gave me the cushion for it to be pretty comfortable coming down the last few.”

Jang Ryul, Chani, Son Woo Hyeon, And More Are Joseon’s Most Eligible Bachelors Ready To Steal Hearts In “The Scandal Of Chunhwa”

Jang Ryul, Chani, Son Woo Hyeon, And More Are Joseon’s Most Eligible Bachelors Ready To Steal Hearts In “The Scandal Of Chunhwa”

“The Scandal of Chunhwa” has introduced a dashing lineup of Joseon's most sought-after bachelors! “The Scandal of Chunhwa” is a historical romance drama that tells the story of Princess Hwa Ri (Go Ara) who, after experiencing the heartbreak of her first love, declares her intention to choose her future husband herself. Her groundbreaking decision throws the royal palace into turmoil and entangles her with two men: Choi Hwan (Jang Ryul), the city’s most notorious playboy, and Jang Won (SF9’s Chani), the city’s most eligible bachelor. The drama features five captivating men who will showcase different shades of romance: Choi Hwan, Jang Won, Crown Prince Yi Seung (Son Woo Hyeon), painter Kim Min Hong (Bae Yoon Kyu), and Prince Yi Yeol (Kim Taek). First up is Choi Hwan, the city's most infamous playboy. With immense wealth and a smooth demeanor, he exudes an undeniable aura that makes him the center of attention. His reputation precedes him, leaving behind a trail of women who couldn’t escape his charm. But what compels him to be the first to volunteer as Hwa Ri’s suitor? On the other end of the spectrum, Jang Won embodies the ideal son-in-law. Handsome, intelligent, and possessing impeccable character, Jang Won is the eldest son of a distinguished family, making him the top choice for marriage among noble families. Yet, despite the attention, he remains unmoved—until Hwa Ri’s unexpected proclamation pulls him into an unexpected whirlwind of romance. Crown Prince Yi Seung is Hwa Ri’s older brother and the king’s eldest son. A model prince, he dedicates himself tirelessly to his studies and the responsibilities of the throne, ensuring he leaves no room for criticism. Yet, behind his seemingly flawless exterior lies a quiet melancholy that hints at a deeper story. Adding an artistic flair to the mix is painter Kim Min Hong, whose talent is his greatest allure. Renowned as a genius artist, he also shares a special bond with Hwa Ri, having been both her painting mentor and the keeper of one of her deepest secrets. As they navigate their complex relationship, subtle sparks begin to fly. Rounding out the group is Prince Yi Yeol, Hwa Ri’s second older brother, known for his undying devotion to his wife. With a positive mindset, he is a man of action—energetic, straightforward, and more attuned to martial arts than academics. His unwavering love for his friend’s sister, Lee Ji Won (Han Seung Yeon), leads him to marriage, making him the drama’s ultimate romantic fool. The first two episodes of “The Scandal of Chunhwa” will premiere on February 6 at 12 p.m. KST! Watch Chani in his drama “Miracle” below!
