I&#8217;ve known for a little while, but not very long, and truthfully, it hasn&#8217;t really set it in yet. I&#8217;m still just in complete awe by it, just humbled by it and what it means. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m grateful because it just means I&#8217;ve been associated with some unbelievable people along the way. Truly highlights what Payne was about, it highlights, I think, what professional golf is all about; character, charity, sportsmanship. That&#8217;s probably what life&#8217;s about. God knows, in these given times, that would be a breath of fresh air if we could all go about our ways in that sort of fashion, but, man, I never knew this would ever happen, but I&#8217;m grateful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s a lot of kids, a lot of families, in my hometown of Cedar Rapids that are going to directly benefit from this, so I&#8217;m grateful for the Southern Company and certainly the PGA Tour and Tracey Stewart, her family, and certainly Payne&#8217;s legacy for making it a priority. I also want to thank everybody and all my #PXGTroops out there and specifically Bob and Renee Parsons for modeling what it is to give and how to give and find joy in that and make it a priority. &#8220;To whom much is given, much is expected.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> I don&#8217;t necessarily do it out of obligation or responsibility. I do it out of joy. I like knowing that this game of golf can provide for so many others. Just wanted to share that with you all and say thank you and just know that I am completely honored and humbled. Thank you.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Payne Stewart Award is presented annually by the PGA TOUR to a professional golfer who best exemplifies Stewart\u2019s steadfast values of character, charity, and sportsmanship.
