Liv Golf: Jon Rahm again wins the title despite the loss of the Indianapolis qualifiers while Ian Poulter avoids relegation | News Golf

Jon Rahm won his second individual successive golf championship despite a loss in the playoffs in the Indianapolis event, after having taken a 60 -year career record earlier, and not winning a tournament all year round.

The Spaniard stung Joaquin Niemann, who ended the week for the fourth row, for the season title for the second consecutive year despite the Chilean player five times during the Saudi tour in 2025.

Rahm could not win his first tournament victory in 12 months, however, after having undergone a second defeat in playoffs in as many weeks, this time to Sebastian Munoz in Colombia.

After Rahm’s last round, 11 -me of 60 years at Chatham Hills had given him the advance of the clubhouse on Sunday, Munoz – who had become the first player to score 59 on Friday with a double Bogey – Birdie the last two holes for 65 to equalize the score of the 22 -year -old tournament in Rahm.

Munoz then won the playoffs on the first additional hole, the 18th by four, thanks to a six -foot sneaky putt.

And Rahm admitted: “It’s a great moment, but it doesn’t feel good to finish the year of loss of two playoffs.

“I’m sure that over time, I’m going to get back, and I will really appreciate what I did this year. To be able to win the season without winning a tournament, I know I will be proud.”

Niemann finished five shots after a final round 66.

“It’s a bit difficult to swallow,” he said about the loss of the title of the season of less than three points in the liv ranking.

“But at the end of the day, I think that’s what it is. I feel like it will put something in me to work harder and try to be in this situation next year and make it different.”

Munoz and Niemann led GC torque at the team’s event championship with a total record of 64 sous.

“I was a little chance of not having struck so close to me, and I finished him quickly,” said Munoz. “The first time I beat him, if really proud of that and happy to have been able to go home with the trophy.”

The Liv Golf League season ends with the team championship in Michigan from Friday.

Stenson relegated while Poulter increases safely

Former Open Champion Henrik Stenson, meanwhile, was relegated after falling into the deposit area of the Liv Golf ranking.

Stenson, who lost the captain of the Ryder Cup in 2023 after joining the escape competition supported by Saoudie, finished 22nd.

But a late increase in Ian Poulter Birdie has ensured the survival of the English player at Stenson costs, and the Swedish will now have to qualify to win his place during the tour of next year.
