LIV Golf fans gathered at the practice putting green before the season-ending event in Indianapolis, Indiana, on Sunday, August 23, 2026. Jon Rahm secured his third consecutive season points title and a second team championship in a row at the revised finale. The 31-year-old Spaniard expressed his excitement about returning home to support his wife, who is expecting their fourth child in October.
Rahm finished with a 7-under 63, trailing by one stroke behind 22-year-old Michael La Sasso, the 2025 NCAA individual champion from Mississippi, who scored a 65 for an 18-under total.
Recent challenges have plagued the LIV Golf circuit. In April, it was announced that the Saudi Arabian sovereign wealth fund would halt its investment in the league following this season. Despite an initial investment of over $5 billion to attract top players, LIV canceled two events this year, including the June event in New Orleans and the originally scheduled finale in Michigan.
Additionally, entertainment plans for the weekend were scrapped. LIV CEO Scott O'Neil remains optimistic about the future, stating that players will become equity owners and regain their commercial rights. O'Neil envisions a future with five team championships overseas and five individual tournaments in the United States, scheduled close to major events for qualifying players.
