Jon Rahm Ends 539-Day Drought With Commanding Win at LIV Golf Hong Kong

The result strengthens his hold on the LIV season race with a 200-point boost to 426.

Overview

  • Rahm closed at 23 under to finish three shots ahead of runner-up Thomas Detry, with Thomas Pieters leading the next group home.
  • The victory paid $4 million and was the 23rd of his professional career, his third individual title since joining LIV.
  • He separated from a three-way tie early in the final round, steadied after a stumble at the ninth, and surged clear over the closing stretch.
  • Off the course, he chartered a flight that brought seven LIV players, including Detry, from Dubai to Hong Kong after conflict-related travel disruptions.
  • In the team competition, Dustin Johnson’s 4Aces won, with Smash second and Rahm’s Legion XIII third.
