History

Historical Context

In 1997, 21-year-old Tiger Woods captured the Masters at Augusta by a 12-stroke margin, the tournament’s largest margin at the time. Premlall’s 14-shot win at the 2024 Catalunya Championship becomes the DP World Tour’s second-largest margin, echoing Woods’ dominance and continuing a trend of sweeping victories that boost global interest and inspire South African players Gary Player, the tour’s first overseas champion in 1961.
