Northern Trust champ Tony Finau's wife Alayna is the loudest fan at husband's games

Tony Finau and his wife are parents to four children, namely, Jraice, Leilence Aiaga, Tony Jr and Sage

Golfer Milton Pouha Finau, more commonly known to all as Tony Finau, created history by ending his winless drought with a victory at the Northern Trust of PGA Tour. The 31-year-old golfer earned his first FedEx Cup Playoffs victory, which also happens to be his first win in five years. He sealed the deal on a sudden death round with Cameron Smith, as the latter ended up hitting his tee shot out of bounds.

Finau's fans flooded Twitter with congratulatory messages for the new champion. A devoted fan of Kobe Bryant, Finau had previously appeared at games donning the late NBA star's iconic No. 8 jersey. His championship win on the occasion of Kobe Bryant's birthday is being dubbed extra special by his followers. In his personal life, Finau is a doting father of four and a loving husband to his wife of nine years, Alayna Galea'i-Finau. In the past, she has been branded the "loudest fan" at her husband's PGA Tour events.

Who is Tony Finau's wife Alayna? 

Tony Finau, who is the first golfer of Tongan and Samoan descent to play in the PGA Tour, is married to Alayna since 2012. According to Golf Monthly, both of them are religious and practicing members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. 

The pair are proud parents to four children, namely, Jraice, Leilence Aiaga, Tony Jr., and Sage. Both of them regularly share photos of enjoying quality time with the family, be it indoor or outdoor. 

Though it is primarily Alayna who takes care of the children, Tony is always there whenever need be. For him, family comes above everything else, be it the chance to play golf with the legendary Tiger Woods. He had given up on the golden opportunity as his wife was about to give birth to their fourth child.

During the September 2020 PGA Tour Championship, Alayna was spotted cheering the loudest for her hubby from the audience seat. Tony himself later tweeted a video of the same, writing, "Appreciate the love from the one fan (my wife) on 17 Let's finish the season strong tomorrow!"

Alayna, who calls herself a "blessed mama", posted a photo with her husband, on the occasion of their 9th wedding anniversary on May 13. "9 yrs 🤍 Love my hunnay!..into the sunset w our greatest blessings of 9 yrs ✨," she wrote in the caption. 

Meanwhile, Finau's latest win was lauded by experts and fans alike on social media, as Golf Digest journalist Daniel Rapaport wrote, "Tony Finau answered every one of our dumb questions about not winning with kindness and grace. Never got angry or snarky. He just kept on smiling, saying all he can do is play his best, and knowing the W would come. Today, it did. How sweet it must feel. A win for the good guys."

"Congrats Tony Finau. Bummer the jokes are over but happy for Tony as a person. Heard nothing but great things. But gonna miss the jokes but happy for Tony," tweeted Barstool group commissioner Riggs Barstool. 

A third fan wrote, "TONY FINAU FTW. I could cry. 2021 is the year of ending winless streaks am I right?"
