Bubba Watson Wins Tiger Wood's Hero World Challenge by 3 Strokes Over Patrick Reed

Bubba Watson once said that if he ever amassed 10 victories he’d retire from professional golf, but on Sunday following his three-stroke victory at the Hero World Challenge, he clarified that statement. The World Challenge is Watson’s ninth victory as a professional, although the event does not count as an official PGA Tour victory.

Watson was asked if he wins next week’s Thailand Golf Championship, will he follow through on his retirement plans? “Ten U.S. victories,” he explained. “I don’t count this as a PGA Tour victory. It counts as a victory. It’s very big for my career personally, but I don’t see it as 10.” The World Challenge is Watson’s ninth victory as a professional, although the event does not count as an official PGA Tour win.
