Burns won his second PGA Tour event of the 2022 season last week. Apart from taking home a paycheque worth a whopping $1,512 million, the traditional Colonial’s Lenord Trophy, and a Scottish royal tartan plaid jacket, the American professional also won an incredible automobile. Burns won the fully restored Trans AM Firebird from the 1979 highlights, which marks a momentous year in the history of the famous car manufacturing company.

After winning the event, the 2022 Charles Schwab challenge winner sat in the beautiful car and collected his jacket and elegant trophy. Not to forget, yesterday’s win was his fourth PGA Tour win in the last 13 months. The car seemed to be in immaculate condition and was maybe teal blue or had a grayish touch to its body color. At the same time, it had great white seat covers, made with a delicate touch.
