Robinson-Thompson won \u00a341,000 at the Bahrain Championship and \u00a3126,000 for his third-place finish at the Qatar Masters – the size of the rewards not being lost on the Englishman. <\/p>\n
“I come from very humble beginnings,” Robinson-Thompson added. <\/p>\n
“I grew up in a single-parent home and council housing. Money has never been something that I’ve previously had access to and therefore has never been something I’ve really wanted.<\/p>\n
“It’s never been a driving factor for me – I’ve always wanted to do something that I love to do and through my grandparents and especially my grandad I found golf.<\/p>\n
“I’m not naive to the fact that it helps though and you make money when you perform. I think what I get excited by is that in the future I can help and change the lives of the people around me.”<\/p>\n
The 31-year-old featured in the US Open over the summer in what was his second major. <\/p>\n
He is hoping that more success on the DP World Tour could lead to further opportunities on an even higher stage.<\/p>\n
“The top goal for me this year would be to gain a PGA Tour card through the DP World Tour,” Robinson-Thompson said.<\/p>\n
“That would mean finishing in the top 10. I also just want to maintain the current enjoyment level that I have with the game.<\/p>\n
“I know if I can continue to enjoy competing then I’ll be in a really great place with getting closer to all my goals.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
