Pavelski led after each of the first two days of the celebrity tournament and eventually secured his first win with an eagle putt on the final hole.

The former San Jose Sharks and Dallas Stars forward finished with five birdies compared to one bogey and one double bogey in his final round.

With the victory, Pavelski took home $150,000 of the $750,000 purse for the competition.

Curry, who won the American Century Championship in 2023, put together a strong performance on Sunday despite coming up short. He recorded four birdies in Round 3, but couldn't climb higher up the leaderboard after finishing with a double bogey on hole No. 18.

Curry still had fun on the course and showed off his signature deep shooting range, though.

Meanwhile, Rodgers amassed a pair of birdies to go along with five bogeys. The four-time MVP was consistent, finishing with a score of 15 during each of the first two rounds before ending Sunday's action with 14 points.

In the end, Pavelski came out on top.
