KAPALUA, Hawaii – In 2018 there were 11 players who ended victory droughts of 1,600 days or more, but none of those breakthroughs could compare to Charles Howell III’s victory last fall at the RSM Classic.
Howell ended a title drought that had reached 4,292 days with his playoff victory at Sea Island [Ga.] Resort to earn a return trip to the year-opening Sentry Tournament of Champions. Since the 39-year-old’s last visit, in 2008, to the winners-only event so much has changed in his life.
“Two kids, school schedules, gray hair, couple of equipment changes, couple golf teacher changes, almost everything, really,” Howell said with a laugh.
