The Story in Brief
Jon Rahm has clinched his third consecutive LIV Golf season championship without needing to win the finale, finishing tied for 41st at LIV Golf New York on Sunday. The Spaniard, who had two wins and three runner-up finishes this season, built an unassailable 219-point lead over Bryson DeChambeau going into the last event in Indianapolis.
At Trump National Bedminster in New Jersey, Chile's Joaquin Niemann shot a two-under 69 for a wire-to-wire victory at 16-under 268, beating American Harold Varner III by three strokes. Niemann's ninth LIV Golf title was sealed with a 56-foot birdie putt and a long eagle putt on the back nine. England's Lee Westwood and Scott Vincent of Zimbabwe tied for third.
The Indian Opinion
The narrative that LIV Golf lacks competitiveness takes another hit. Rahm won the season crown without a single win this year, a testament to consistent top finishes. Yet critics ignore that six of the world's top 50 now play on the circuit. The real test: will LIV's off-season moves, like the reported signing of world No. 3 Xander Schauffele, finally force the Official World Golf Ranking to grant the points these players deserve? Or will the status quo hold?
