Schwartzel shot a closing two-over-par 72 to finish on seven-under par for the 54-hole tournament.

He was rewarded with the largest pay day in pro golf history – $4 million (R63.5 million).

And that’s not all!

He also earned another $750 000 (R12 million) after his four-man Stingers squad won the team title and divided $3 million.

Overall, the purse for the individual competition in this first event in the Saudi-backed series was $20 million, with the last-place finisher (48th) taking home $120 000.

By comparison, that is just shy of what the golfer finishing 19th at this week’s RBC Canadian Open on the PGA Tour will earn.

Additionally, the three top four-man groups in the team competition split another $5 million among them.
