Jon Rahm Leads LIV Golf Team Championship Into Final Showdown

Chatham Hills, Indiana – Jon Rahm capped off the season at LIV Golf by securing a runner-up finish, allowing him to edge past Joaquin Niemann to top the season-long standings. With a career-best round of 11-under 60 on Sunday, Rahm has established himself as a frontrunner heading into the upcoming LIV Golf Team Championship.

The Championship, set for August 22-24, 2025, at The Cardinal at Saint John’s in Michigan, has introduced a new format emphasizing ruthless competitiveness. Only the winners will advance, creating a high-stakes environment where every shot counts. As the top seeds, Rahm’s team, Legion XIII, will have the first choice in selecting their quarter-final opponents.
