Steven Alker has finished the season with a monster payday in Phoenix.

The Kiwi golfer won the season-ending Charles Schwab Cup on Monday afternoon (NZT) to wrap up his PGA Tour Champions campaign with a combined $US1 million (NZ$1.7 million) payday.

Alker earned $528,000 for winning the tournament at the Phoenix Country club by one stroke, and another $500,000 for finishing second in the season-long Charles Schwab Cup points race.

A year after Alker won the overall race, American Steve Stricker long ago clinched the Schwab Cup with his six victories this year, three of them majors. He didn’t play in Phoenix after his father was recently hospitalised in Wisconsin.
