GAINESVILLE, Va. — Joaquin Niemann of Chile won LIV Golf Virginia on Sunday for his fourth victory in the Saudi-funded tour's first eight events of the season, closing with an 8-under 63 to beat Graeme McDowell and Anirban Lahiri by a stroke.
Niemann broke out of a logjam at the top with birdies on Nos. 14-17 and parred the par-4 18th to finish at 15-under 198 at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club.
The 26-year-old Niemann also won this year in Australia, Singapore and Mexico. He has six career LIV victories after winning twice on the PGA Tour.
McDowell shot 66, and second-round leader Lahiri had a 68.

Check it out: Justin Herbert highlights from celebrity golf event
Check it out: Justin Herbert highlights from celebrity golf event Justin Herbert signing a baby is an all time GOATed moment 🤣 @amfamchamp — ESPN Madison (@ESPNMadison) June 7, 2025 While things are on the slower side for quarterback Justin Herbert at this point of time, he's using his spare time to do things that he enjoys doing, including golfing. This past weekend, Herbert partook in the AmFam Championship, a PGA Tour event, played at TPC Wisconsin. He paired up with NFL legend Charles Woodson, as the two took on soccer legend Mia Hamm and two-time U.S. Open champion and event host Andy North. The event was to raise money for a children's hospital. Ultimately, Herbert and Woodson came up short against Hamm and North. But the event brought plenty of highlights of the Chargers signal-caller, including a clip of him signing the back of a baby's Chargers shirt. Just SOME of our favorite shots from Saturday's @amfamchamp Celebrity Foursome! Can we run it back again next weekend? #AmFamChamp — ESPN Madison (@ESPNMadison) June 8, 2025 Thanks @MiaHamm, @CharlesWoodson, Justin Herbert and host Andy North for a fun day! Team North-Hamm won the #AmFamChamp Celebrity Foursome and will have a $25,000 donation made in their names from the @StrickerFNDN to the American Family Children's Hospital. — AmFam Championship (@amfamchamp) June 8, 2025
