Having already booked his ticket to the Masters, Seamus Power is eyeing the biggest payday of his career at the Dell Technologies Match Play this week.
The Waterford man is into the quarter-finals of the World Championship having dispatched of Tyrrell Hatton with a 4&3 victory at Austin Country Club.
Already guaranteed at least €351,000 for making the last eight, Power is just three more wins away from the huge €1,912,000 first prize. While if Power makes it into the semi-finals, he will bag at least €623,000.
The 35-year-old takes on Scottie Scheffler in the quarter-finals, who saw off defending champion Billy Horschel.
Power has been in the form of his life of late and can already look forward to playing in the Masters for the first time next month.
A year after being ranked outside the world's top 450, Power will now move inside the world's top 50.
"Obviously my golf has improved. That's what's changed," Power said on Friday. "Things don't quite seem as hard on the golf course.
"I kind of had to get some stuff figured out with my game and I was able to figure that out and make some improvement with wedges and putting and that sort of stuff.
"The margins out here are so small. Even this week obviously the top-ranked guys are favoured to go through, but it's only like a shot per round maybe they might be better than anyone else.
"Those things are small margins, so if you could just make one less mistake, one less good shot, one less putt or one more putt holed and the whole kind of shape of your career can change."
Power would be the first man from the Republic of Ireland to win the matchplay event, with Northern Irishmen Darren Clarke (2000) and Rory McIlroy (2015) having won it previously.
The Waterford man won for the first time on the PGA Tour in July last year at the Barbasol Championship.
