LIV Golf Chicago: Dean Burmester Leading After Round 2, Team Leaderboard Is Tight
LIV Golf LIV Golf Chicago: Dean Burmester Leading After Round 2, Team Leaderboard Is Tight Published Aug. 9, 2025 7:07 p.m. ET share facebook x reddit link BOLINGBROOK, Ill.– On Saturday, Dean Burmester of Stinger GC took control of LIV Golf Chicago by shooting a spectacular 6-under 65 on a windy day at Bolingbrook Golf Club to improve to 9-under for the tournament and give himself a two-shot lead leading into Championship Sunday. Burmester is seeking his first victory of the 2025 season. On the team side, Crushers GC, Fireballs GC and Stinger GC are tied atop the team leaderboard at 10-under. While it's Burmester in the individual lead, Josele Ballester may have been the player to steal the spotlight on Friday. The Fireballs GC rookie and former U.S. Amateur champion shot a 5-under 66 while making only his seventh professional start. Ballester finished tied for seventh in his most recent start at LIV Golf UK by JCB and is now in a tie for second alongside Legion XIII Captain Jon Rahm (4-under 67) through two rounds. Ballester, 21, made five birdies and an eagle while only making one bogey to get into the clubhouse at 7-under par. The youngest Fireballs GC player surged his team to a tie at the top of the leaderboard heading into the final round, as the Fireballs seek a fourth team victory of the season. Crushers GC is also seeking a fourth team victory in 2025. Rahm is chasing his first victory of the 2025 season while also targeting the season-long individual points title. With a strong chance to secure both honors, Rahm is well positioned to close the gap on Torque GC Captain Joaquin Niemann, who is faltering this week with rounds of 74-70, leaving him tied for 35th. Should Rahm claim the tournament title and Niemann finish 19th or lower, Rahm will seize the lead in the season-long race with one event remaining in Indianapolis. ADVERTISEMENT On the relegation front, Torque GC's Mito Pereira shot a 1-over 72, dropping him to tied for 18th on the leaderboard, which is well short of what he'd hoped for after starting the tournament hot with a 2-under 69 on Friday. Andy Ogletree of HyFlyers GC, who's battling a wrist injury, struggled as well, shooting a 2-over 73 to slip to tied for 25th on the leaderboard as he attempts to secure his place for the 2026 season. Anthony Kim struggled on Friday with an 11-over 82, the day's lowest score, but staged a remarkable comeback on Saturday, carding a 3-under 68 — a stunning 14-shot improvement. The round of the day belonged Burmester as well as Torque GC's Carlos Ortiz, who also shot a 6-under 65. For the round, Bolingbrook GC produced a field scoring average of –0.22 compared to +0.41 in Round 1.

LIV Golf star who brutally sacked caddie and coach secures lucrative £3m payout
Joaquin Niemann lifted his fifth LIV Golf title of the season at the JCB Golf and Country Club on Sunday, bouncing back after sacking his coach and caddie following a poor performance at The Open Joaquin Niemann won the LIV Golf UK title on Sunday after firing his coach and caddie. Having failed to make the cut at The Open Championship a little over a week ago, Niemann bounced back with a vengeance at JCB Golf and Country Club. The Torque GC captain shot an impressive six-under-par 66 in the opening round and bettered that with a 64 on Saturday. Sunday saw the star hit a weekend high round of 68, but was still able to finish three strokes clear of runner-up Bubba Watson with a total score of 17-under. Following his disappointment last Friday, the Chilean golfer made several changes before arriving at JCB last week. In a significant move, Niemann recently parted ways with his long-time caddie, Gary Matthews, and coach, Eduardo Miquel, reports the Irish Star. Reflecting on the changes within his team after his second round on Saturday, Niemann said: "I'd say it's been a little weird the last two, three weeks. There have obviously been a few movements on my team. "At the same time, it is what it is. I'm really grateful for them, for the two people that they are not working with me anymore on the team, but it's part of it. "I feel like I was pretty frustrated at the beginning of this week after a bad result, obviously, at The Open as well, and all the rest kind of going on. I feel like... not low, but I wasn't, like, going on the golf course going into this week, I wasn't feeling that confident at all. "I think it was just keep doing the same work that I'm used to and keep working with my team and why we work every time, stay positive with myself." Niemann has been streets ahead of his rivals on the LIV circuit, securing five wins in 11 outings this season. And his win on Sunday in Rocester landed him an impressive £2.9million payday for his efforts. Having recorded just one bogey across his opening six holes, Niemann's recent behind-the-scenes tweaks seem to have caused no harm to his bid for the league's individual title in 2025, keeping him ahead of Jon Rahm. Speaking about his victory in the UK, Niemann said: "Obviously I want to win the season. I think there is a lot of golf to play yet. Jon, we know how good of a player he is, also Bryson [DeChambeau]. "There is not much I can think about other than worry about what I'm doing, how I can improve and get better and play my best golf for the next two weeks. I feel like that's all I'm worrying about right now." Two singles events remain on the LIV Golf calendar this season. The breakaway circuit lands at the Bolingbrook Golf Club for LIV Golf Chicago between August 8 and 10, before LIV Golf Indianapolis plays out at The Club at Chatham Hills a week later. The LIV Golf Team Championship then takes place at The Cardinal at Saint John's, Michigan, between August 22 and 24.

Niemann breezes to fifth LIV Golf success of season
Joaquin Niemann captured his fifth victory of the season with a three- stroke win at LIV Golf United Kingdom. Niemann carded a three-under 68 on Sunday to finish with a 17-under 196 for the tournament at the JCB Golf and Country Club in Rocester, England. The Torque GC captain collected five birdies against two bogeys to add his to his titles at Adelaide, Singapore, Mexico City and Virginia. Sunday's victory served as a $4 million payday for Niemann, who began the week by firing his caddie and coach after missing the cut at the 2025 Open Championship. Niemann's Torque GC, however, were unable to hold their three-stroke lead over Legion XIII in their bid for a first team title since 2023. Legion XIII shot a staggering 14-under on Sunday to finish at 35-under for the tournament, eight strokes better than Torque GC. Niemann wasn't too interested in talking about his individual play on Sunday. He said: "Well, I'm going to talk for the first two days because today I didn't feel like I had my best. Yeah, it was great. I was able to flow on tough situations. "I felt like today I was pretty calm, pretty chill, until Bubba (Watson) started playing golf. He made it tough for me. I was actually feeling the pressure on 13, 14, but, yeah, just stay in the present. Yeah, was able to hit a great shot on 15. After that put me back into my place." Watson had a stretch of four birdies and two eagles from No.9 to No.14. He rolled in six birdies overall to finish in second place at 14-under after a third-round 65. Niemann put a halt to his charge after sending a shot within five feet of the cup on the 15th hole. "I was pretty happy to see that ball go in that close, and making that birdie I think was huge for the next three holes," he said. Caleb Surratt (65 on Sunday) sank six birdies during his bogey-free round to finish at 13-under for the tournament, followed by Talor Gooch (66) at 11-under. As for team play, Legion XIII captain Jon Rahm was thrilled after his team captured their fourth title of the season. "With all four scores counting this year I thought we played to our advantage. It showed early on and it's showing now," Rahm said. Cameron Smith was the highest placed Australian, finishing 10th, nine shots off the lead. Marc Leishman was a shot behind with Lucas Herbert 34th and Matt Jones 40th. Joaquin Niemann captured his fifth victory of the season with a three- stroke win at LIV Golf United Kingdom.
