The victory in this tournament brought him as much as 1.5 million Australian dollars, which represents a strong financial injection for such a potential player.
Vilips pointed out that the whole experience is still unreal.
'It's a dream come true for me and my dad doing it, going at it for a long time, and this is what we dreamed of when I was a kid. So yeah, it's pretty surreal.'- he said, as quoted by Daily Mail.
Tiger Woods is proud
In recent weeks, Vilips has attracted the most attention as the first ambassador of Tiger Woods' brand, i.e. the Sun Day Red clothing line. Woods always spoke in superlatives about this young golfer, aware of the quality Vilips possesses. The American golfer still hasn't reacted to the Australian's victory, but we have no doubt that he feels pride and positive emotions, aware that he chose the right person to promote his line.

Tiger has admitted several times so far what kind of ambitions he has regarding this clothing brand, and the engagement of such persons certainly gives the right to be optimistic.
Even as a kid, Vilips showed enormous potential, having achieved many victories in his categories. There are many who even then predicted a great career for him, and it seems that Karl justifies such forecasts.
It will be interesting to follow his progress and see how much this young golfer can really do in the future. At 23 years old, he shows that he has enormous potential, and Tiger Woods' decision speaks volumes about how many believe that Willips can become a top golfer.
