Overview
- Joaquin Niemann shot a closing 2-under 69 to win LIV Golf New York at Trump National Bedminster on Sunday with a wire-to-wire 16-under total, his ninth LIV series victory.
- Jon Rahm clinched the 2026 individual season points title for the third consecutive year despite a tied-41st finish in New York, making his lead unassailable with one regular-season event remaining.
- LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil said the league has signed a term sheet with an unnamed lead investor to replace future Saudi PIF funding, but O’Neil did not disclose the investor’s identity, the investment size, or final conditions.
- Reports have named BC Partners as a possible bidder and said any final deal could depend on assurances that top players will stay with LIV, and the league has warned staff to expect possible workforce reductions as it restructures.
- President Trump attended the Bedminster event and was seen with PIF governor Yasir Al‑Rumayyan and Gary Player, while the April PIF decision to end future funding has left the team championship in Michigan and late-season planning uncertain.
