Vijay Singh picked up the $990,000 first prize cheque after winning the Arnold Palmer Invitational by two shots.
The Fijian fired a three-under-par 67 on Sunday to finish on -8, with Rocco Mediate finishing second (-6) and Vaughn Taylor (-5) third.
Singh has been runner-up at Bay Hill on three occasions but went one btter this time, despite two bogeys in the last three holes, to claim his 31st PGA tour title.
The 44-year-old admitted: "It means a lot. This was my first tournament in America and I love this place.
"I hate the 18th hole. It cost me two tournaments in the past. But I love this place. I always wanted to win this one and now I have."
It was Singh's second victory of the season and the veteran is now trading at 5.2 to top the PGA Money List in 2007.
The Fijian, who won the Masters in 2000, is currently trading at 20 to claim a second green jacket this year with Tiger Woods (2.92) heading the market.
