For the second time in as many years with the league, Jon Rahm stormed from behind to steal LIV Golf’s season-long individual championship from Joaquin Niemann.
Rahm made 10 birdies, an eagle and a bogey en route to a blistering 11-under 60 in the final round Sunday at LIV Golf Indy to finish in a tie for first at 22 under with Sebastian Munoz, who made headlines when he fired a 59 in Friday’s first round. Munoz ultimately won the playoff in just one extra hole, capturing his first LIV Golf victory, but Rahm had already clinched the season-long title in regulation due to Niemann’s T-4 finish.
It’s the second runner-up finish in a row and third of the season for Rahm, who claims the season-long title without actually winning a single event outright all year. He did, however, finish inside the top 10 in all but one of his 13 starts.

Rahm and Niemann entered the week as the only two in contention for LIV Golf’s race for the individual championship. Niemann — who won five LIV Golf events this season — had a 12-point advantage in the standings when LIV Golf Indy started but ended up narrowly behind Rahm.
Rahm, a two-time major champion, started hot and stayed hot throughout the day, making birdies on the first two holes before making three in a row on holes 9-11. An eagle on the par-5 13th made it seem as if Rahm was going to run away with the title but a bogey on the very next hole opened the door again. That door was slammed shut down the stretch, as the 30-year-old Spaniard made four birdies in a row to finish the round.
With the performance Sunday, Rahm takes home $20.25 million — $2.25 million for his runner-up finish at LIV Golf Indy and an extra $18 million bonus for his season-long championship victory.
