Cameron Smith was pipped to an $18 million cheque by Talor Gooch in Saudi Arabia last month but hopes to turn the tables on the American for a much smaller prize at the $2 million Hong Kong Open this week.
British Open winner Smith was in pole position to claim LIV Golf's individual title but Gooch's runner-up finish behind compatriot Brooks Koepka at the decisive event in Jeddah was enough to secure the huge payday.
Smith's $10 million cheque for finishing second in the series' individual points list would have been some consolation as he went into a brief break from golf.
But the mullet-haired Queenslander is keen to get back into it and get one over Gooch at the Hong Kong Golf Club.
