Robinson-Thompson won £41,000 at the Bahrain Championship and £126,000 for his third-place finish at the Qatar Masters – the size of the rewards not being lost on the Englishman.

“I come from very humble beginnings,” Robinson-Thompson added.

“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.

“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.

“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.”

The 31-year-old featured in the US Open over the summer in what was his second major.

He is hoping that more success on the DP World Tour could lead to further opportunities on an even higher stage.

“The top goal for me this year would be to gain a PGA Tour card through the DP World Tour,” Robinson-Thompson said.

“That would mean finishing in the top 10. I also just want to maintain the current enjoyment level that I have with the game.

“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.”
