DeChambeau Edges Rahm in Playoff to Claim LIV Golf South Africa Title

He carries surging form into the Masters after consecutive wins.

Overview

  • Both players finished 26 under; on the first extra hole DeChambeau received free relief from mud on the par-5 18th, then ripped a 3-wood to about 12 feet and converted birdie.
  • The victory capped an emotional week he said included off-course challenges, and it marked his second straight win and fifth LIV title.
  • Crushers GC secured the team crown at 76 under, edging the all‑South African Southern Guards by one stroke.
  • DeChambeau earned $4 million for the individual win as attendance topped 100,000 over four days and President Cyril Ramaphosa took in the finale.
  • Organizers confirmed the tournament will return on April 22–25, 2027, and LIV heads next to Mexico in mid‑April.
