Jon Rahm wins LIV Golf individual title for second year running

Jon Rahm has been crowned as the LIV Golf individual champion for the second consecutive year, despite losing in a play-off to Sebastian Munoz in Indiana.

The Spaniard shot an 11-under 60 to finish at 22 under alongside Colombia’s Munoz, who made headlines when he fired a 59 in Friday’s first round.

Munoz made a birdie on the first extra hole on Sunday, while Rahm was only able to make a par.

However, the result was good enough for Rahm to beat Chile’s Joaquin Niemann – who finished in a tie for fourth on 17 under at the Club at Chatham Hills – to the season-long award, as he did in 2024, and top prize of $18m (£13.3m).

There was also good news for two of Rahm’s former European Ryder Cup team-mates, Lee Westwood and Ian Poulter, who both avoided being relegated and dumped by LIV for 2026.

Westwood birdied four of his first five holes to finish in a tie for 17th on 12 under along with fellow Englishman Poulter, who birdied four of his last five holes to push his Majesticks co-captain Henrik Stenson into the relegation zone.
