The LIV Golf Mexico City event turned out to be far from quiet, with headlines concerning the league's future amidst circulation about financial backing. Despite speculation about possible changes in funding from Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil assured players that the league's schedule would proceed as planned.
Competing at Chapultepec Golf Club, 57 players and 13 teams battled for the impressive $30 million prize purse. On Sunday, Jon Rahm made headlines not just for his stunning performance but also for claiming his fourth LIV title after shooting a remarkable bogey-free 64 to finish with a total score of 21-under-par. This outstanding effort earned him the top prize of $4 million.
Rahm’s victory was not without drama, as fellow star Bryson DeChambeau withdrew from the final round due to a wrist injury. Rahm's team, Legion XIII, which included notable players Tyrrell Hatton, Tom McKibbin, and Caleb Surratt, took home an additional $3 million for winning the team competition.
David Puig finished in second place with a score of 15-under, securing $2.25 million, while Josele Ballester rounded out the top three at 14-under, earning $1.5 million.
Reflecting on the competition, Thomas Detry said, "You know, the same mojo as I've had the last couple of weeks. It seems like it's pretty tight on top and it's quite a few players. Keep making birdies. Definitely the course is tricky at some parts, but it definitely gives you chances. The par-5s are reachable."
The event marked the second consecutive year for LIV Golf in Mexico City and the fourth event held in the country, expanding the tour’s reach as it ventured into a sixth host nation for its initial events. With a break following its last tournament in South Africa, the league returned to action in Mexico after a month-long hiatus.
The next stop on the LIV Golf tour is Virginia, taking place at Trump National Golf Club outside Washington, D.C., in two weeks.
