Apart from being an amazing golfer, Tony Finau also happens to be a great family man. While many expected the Samoan golfer to celebrate his first victory of the season in Mexico with a bang, Finau instead decided to spend the evening with his kids in an adorable fashion.

After struggling to finish top-10 throughout the year, Finau finally claimed his first win of the 2022-23 PGA Tour season. The 33-year-old’s stunning -24 helped him outshine the 2023 Masters winner Jon Rahm at the Mexico Open. While he enjoyed playing top-quality golf in the morning, Finau spent the evening caddying for his kids.

Tony married the love of his life Alayna Galea’i-Finau back in 2012. The couple share five children together. While the family frequently visits the golfer’s events, they did get to celebrate Finau’s $1,386,000 victory at the Vidanta Vallarta Golf Club. Instead of celebrating his PGA Tour win through a lavish party, Tony celebrated the evening by carrying the bag for his kids.
