Patty Tavatanakit, Jake Knapp Win Grant Thornton Invitational

Patty Tavatanakit from Thailand and Jake Knapp from the United States triumphed at the 2024 Grant Thornton Invitational, finishing with a score of 27-under-par and claiming the $1 million prize for their team. The event, held at Tiburon Golf Club in Naples, Florida, featured a unique format that included a scramble round, foursomes, and a modified fourball final round. Knapp and Tavatanakit's final round score of 65 allowed them to edge out runners-up Jeeno Thitikul and Tom Kim by just one stroke. With a total purse of $4 million, the tournament distributed significant earnings to the top teams, including $560,000 for second place and $330,000 for third place. The event marked the second year of this mixed-team competition, following last year's win by Jason Day and Lydia Ko. Notably, Lexi Thompson participated in her final tournament before retiring from professional golf, adding an emotional layer to the event.
