"Anytime you come back to a place where you've won and where I have so many great memories is amazing," said Finau.
Finau's popularity rose even higher after the release of Netflix's golf documentary called Full Swing, where an episode was dedicated to Finau and his family, which included his win in Detroit. In the episode, he openly shows the side of him that balanced family life, with golf. It was a vulnerable side of him that he said gained the Finau family some extra fans.
Since Tony Finau's win in Detroit, he has opened up to the world as a professional golfer balancing life, family, and golf.
