Joaquin Niemann Wins on LIV Golf for 9th Time and Jon Rahm Claims Another Season Title

Rahm secured the season points crown with a 219-point lead, while Niemann won by three strokes and Crushers captured the team title.

  • On Sunday, Joaquin Niemann secured a victory at LIV Golf New York, finishing 16-under 268 at Trump National Bedminster. The Chilean golfer achieved his latest career victory with a wire-to-wire performance.
  • Following Niemann's late surge, American Harold Varner III finished second. Niemann sank a birdie putt at the 13th and a long eagle putt at the 15th to seize control and ultimately defeat Varner by three strokes.
  • With a closing 76, Jon Rahm finished tied for 41st, yet clinched his season points title. Rahm, who won in Hong Kong and Mexico City this year, holds an unassailable lead over Bryson DeChambeau heading into the finale.
  • LIV Golf CEO Scott said the league signed a term sheet with a lead investor, allowing it to continue without Saudi Arabia funding. The investor identity and investment size remain unidentified.
  • The Crushers, led by captain DeChambeau, secured the team title in New York after defeating Legion XIII and Torque by two strokes. Players head to Indianapolis in two weeks for the season finale.
