Overview
- Sebastián Muñoz won the Indianapolis event, firing a 59 on Friday and beating Rahm with a birdie on the first playoff hole.
- Rahm went winless in 2025 but recorded four runner-up finishes and closed Indy with a 60 to clinch the season-long title despite the playoff loss.
- Joaquín Niemann captured five victories—Adelaide, Singapore, Mexico City, Virginia and the UK—yet finished second in the standings by three points and earned an $8 million bonus.
- Rahm called the outcome “slightly bittersweet” and said Niemann could be considered “more deserving,” while Niemann posted a proud yet frustrated message and applauded both Rahm and teammate Muñoz.
- Critics and analysts renewed attacks on LIV’s scoring and bonus structure, arguing it undervalues tournament wins in favor of consistency.
