Rahm Wins LIV Golf Season Crown Third Straight Year After Niemann Wins New York
Key Points
- Joaquin Niemann won LIV Golf New York at Trump International with a score of 16-under 268, finishing wire-to-wire.
- Jon Rahm secured the season crown for the third successive year since joining LIV Golf, despite shooting 76 in the final round.
- Harold Varner III finished second, 2 shots behind Niemann at 14-under 270 after shooting 70 in the final round.
Rahm's third season-long title caps a turbulent week personally for the two-time major champion. He acknowledged his poor play over the final stretch, stating: "The last two weeks haven't been the best, have they. I would say proud of earlier in the season." Despite those recent struggles, Rahm finished the season with two victories overall and maintained enough consistency to claim the crown ahead of the remaining field.
The two-time major champion highlighted a pivotal moment during his season when he recovered from a lost lead in Hong Kong. "Having a lead and then basically losing it and birdieing four in a row in the last few holes was probably the most proud moment," Rahm said. He also noted a measure of satisfaction at finally adding victories to his resume: "After last year and not getting the win, having possibly a question mark over the season-long race, to win twice and do it effectively and win it again definitely feels good."

Bryson DeChambeau shot 71 in the final round and finished tied for 38th, 23 shots off Niemann's winning score. With one tournament remaining in the LIV Golf schedule, DeChambeau cannot mathematically catch Rahm in the season standings.
The event took place amid broader news for the league. LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil announced that the organization had signed a term sheet with a lead investor that will allow the league to move forward without Saudi Arabian funding, though O'Neil did not identify the investor or disclose the size of the investment.
