The former collegiate standout claimed his first trophy on the PGA Tour with a two-shot win over S.H. Kim
The FedEx Cup Fall found its first champion as Sahith Theegala claimed the 2023 Fortinet Championship at 21 under for a two-stroke victory over S.H. Kim. Nabbing his first career victory on the PGA Tour, Theegala leaned on pristine wedge play and the overwhelming support from his camp to make his long-awaited entry into the winner's circle.
One of six players in the field — along with Eric Cole, Cam Davis, Brendon Todd, Andrew Putnam and two-time defending champion Max Homa — to lock up their signature event status in 2024 with a strong season, Theegala still came into the week with a bit of a chip on his shoulder as a bogey on the 72nd hole of last week's BMW Championship saw the California native drop outside the top 30 who qualified for the Tour Championship.
His victory in Napa has righted those wrongs as Theegala is now qualified for all four major championships in 2024 marking the second straight year he will tee it up in the four biggest events.
