Sebastian Munoz wins first LIV event, Jon Rahm clinches 2025 individual title at Indianapolis
August 18 - Colombia's Sebastian Munoz birdied the final two holes of regulation and won a one-hole playoff over Spain's Jon Rahm to win the LIV Golf Indianapolis event Sunday in Westfield, Ind. Rahm, who surged up the leaderboard in the third round by shooting an 11-under-par 60, lost the event but narrowly won his second consecutive LIV Golf Individual Championship over Chile's Joaquin Niemann. Munoz entered the day tied with Dustin Johnson atop the leaderboard at 16 under. A bogey on the par-4 15th hole dropped him to 20 under for the tournament while Rahm ended his round on a run, shooting his final six holes at 5 under to get into the clubhouse at 22 under. After a par on the 16th hole, Munoz rallied with back-to-back birdies on the final two holes to force a playoff and birdied the 18th hole once again to end the playoff after Rahm's birdie putt drifted just left of the hole. It was Munoz's first career LIV victory after he previously had six top-five finishes and 13 top-10 finishes over his three years on the tour. "There's no words to describe it right now. I'm proud of myself," Munoz said. "It's been a long time coming, six years since my last win, and it's awesome right now being able to take it in with my daughter, my family, everyone here, it's great." Rahm, who entered the day tied for ninth at 11-under, was sensational throughout the final individual round of the 2025 LIV season. He finished a bogey-free front nine with five birdies. On the back nine, he scored an eagle on the Par-5 13th, and then birdied the final four holes after a bogey on the par-3 14th. Rahm won the individual title despite not winning a single event this season. He stormed past Niemann at the wire with three second-place finishes in the last four LIV events. But he admitted the feelings weren't all joy because he lost a playoff for the second straight tournament. "Slightly bittersweet. Like I know I'm supposed to be happy. It's a great moment. But it just doesn't feel great to finish the year losing two playoffs," Rahm said. "That part doesn't feel great, so I'm sure over time I'll get over that, and I really appreciate what I've done this year. To be able to win the season without actually winning a tournament, I know eventually I'll be proud of that." Niemann entered the week No. 1 in the individual championship standings, with five wins in the first 12 events of the season. He finished tied for fourth in Indianapolis to total 223.66 points in the individual standings, just behind Rahm's 226.16. "We all know how good of a player he is, and yeah, he played amazing," Niemann said. "I feel like he didn't miss many shots, made a lot of putts, left his ball close to the hole pretty much every time. I played good. I started playing my best golf on the back nine, which I'm proud of it, but at the end of the day, the putts didn't drop, and it wasn't enough." Niemann and Munoz are teammates on Torque GC, which won the team title at Indianapolis with a team score of 64 under, 10 strokes clear of second-place Legion XIII (54 under). England's Ian Poulter entered the day in the relegation zone, but he birdied four of his final holes to finish 48th in the LIV individual standings, the final secure spot for the 2026 season. Henrik Stenson of Sweden, Andy Ogletree, Chile's Mito Pereira, Yubin Jang of South Korea, Anthony Kim and Denmark's Frederik Kjettrup are the six players who finished in the relegation zone (49th through 54th in the individual standings). They will have to play their way back onto the tour by winning the International Series or through LIV Golf Promotions. The 2025 LIV season comes to an end Aug. 22 through 24 with the Team Championship event at The Cardinal at St. John's in Plymouth, Mich. -Field Level Media

Winless Jon Rahm Steals Joaquin Niemann's Thunder, Runs Away with LIV Season Title
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Jon Rahm didn't need to win in Indianapolis to be crowned LIV Golf individual champion for the second consecutive year. All he needed was to finish solo second to steal the moment from Joaquin Niemann, despite the Chilean's five titles this year. Rahm fired a final-round 60 at The Club at Chatham Hills to finish his round as clubhouse leader. However, Sebastian Muñoz birdied his final two holes to tie the Spaniard in the very last minute and force a playoff. Jon Rahm of Legion XIII reacts on the 18th green on day one of LIV Golf Indianapolis at The Club at Chatham Hills on August 15, 2025 in Westfield, Indiana. Jon Rahm of Legion XIII reacts on the 18th green on day one of LIV Golf Indianapolis at The Club at Chatham Hills on August 15, 2025 in Westfield, ended up winning his first LIV Golf tournament and banking the $4 million paycheck. However, the bigger prize went to Rahm, who collected the $18 million bonus reserved for the season's individual champion. The two-time major champion was able to edge Niemann by just over one point in the race for the individual title. Rahm's consistency weighed heavily on him, as he finished in the top 10 in 12 of the season's 13 tournaments, including four second-place finishes and three other top-five finishes. The Chilean, on the other hand, won five tournaments but didn't achieve any other top-10 finishes. Nevertheless, a five-time winner losing the season-long race to an opponent who hasn't won a single event is something extremely improbable to see on any other major golf tour. Niemann's Torque GC won the team title in Indianapolis, their first of the season. The season standings are overwhelmingly led by Rahm's Legion XIII, but the team title will be decided at the Team Championship, which will be played in Michigan next week. Jon Rahm. Your 2025 LIV Golf Individual Champion! — FOX Sports: Golf (@GolfonFOX) August 17, 2025 The LIV season will end there, but Rahm's golf season probably won't. The Spaniard hopes to be selected by Luke Donald for the Ryder Cup in September, so he will probably make some starts on the DP World Tour before the selections are announced. His most likely options appear to be the European Masters, the Irish Open, and the BMW PGA Championship. It's unlikely he'll be seen at the French Open, as it's played just the week before the Ryder Cup. After the biannual event, Rahm could play a few more events in Europe, especially those that visit his home country. However, his schedule has not yet been announced.
