The PGA Tour's next big star made some awesome history with WGC win

There’s always a lot of debate over who is going to be the PGA Tour’s next big star.

Well, after Sunday we have a definitive answer to that – Collin Morikawa. And it’s by a big margin as he now looks poised to win a whole heck of a lot of tournaments and even more majors moving forward.

Morikawa picked up his fourth win of his career on Sunday by holding off a field of the best players in the world yet again at a very difficult golf course.

When Morikawa drained his final putt on 18 he not only secured a 3-stroke win but he also became just the second player in history to win a major (last year’s PGA Championship) and a World Golf Championship event before the age of 25.

Who was that other player? Tiger Woods, of course.

Speaking of Tiger, who loved seeing players wearing red on Sunday, Morikawa had a such a heartfelt message for Woods during his post-round interview on NBC. At just 24 years old, Morikawa already carries himself like a seasoned veteran on the course, and is a great, thoughtful human being off of it.

On the course he is also showing signs of being one of the great ones. As CBS’ Kyle Porter brilliantly pointed out, Morikawa has four wins in his first 41 Tour starts. Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth, and Rory McIlroy had four wins combined in their first 41 starts.

That is absolutely wild.

Morikawa was brilliant down the stretch of his PGA Championship victory last summer and he was just as brilliant Sunday when a number of big-name players were pushing their way toward the top.

In the end, there was only one (young) man on top and now it feels like that (young) man is going to get used to being there.
