Michael La Sasso wins LIV Golf finale, but now uncertainty looms

Michael La Sasso, the youngest player on the LIV Golf tour, won the season-ending tournament in Indianapolis. According to the New Straits Times, he beat Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau to the title. La Sasso finished on 18-under with a round of 65, a stroke clear of Rahm, who finished with a round of 63.

The New Straits Times reports that the future of the LIV Golf tour is uncertain, with questions remaining over if and how it will return next season. The tour had lost its Middle Eastern funding, and the fate of star players such as Rahm and DeChambeau is critical and remains uncertain. Some players, including DeChambeau, expressed optimism about the future, with DeChambeau saying that the challenges faced by the tour had made it stronger.

The purse for the final event was $40 million, with Yahoo Sports reporting that $10 million went to the players and $30 million to the teams. Michael La Sasso earned $2,020,000 for his win, while Jon Rahm earned $1,136,250 for his second-place finish.
