Overview

  • Jon Rahm clinched his second consecutive LIV individual-season crown through consistent top-10 finishes despite not winning a single event in 2025.
  • Sebastián Muñoz captured the Indianapolis weekend title with a playoff birdie on the 18th after both he and Rahm finished at 22-under.
  • Joaquín Niemann, who led the season with five victories, ended second in the points race and posted that he feels pride and frustration alongside a vow to return stronger.
  • Rahm described the overall result as “slightly bittersweet” and raised questions about whether the points format properly balances consistency against outright tournament wins.
  • The finale intensified debate over LIV’s season-long scoring model and its fairness in rewarding week-to-week winners versus sustained performance.
