Joaquín Niemann won LIV Golf New York at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster on Sunday, marking his ninth victory since joining the controversial tour. Niemann finished at 16 under par, achieving a wire-to-wire win.
Despite Niemann's performance, the actual golf played at the event served as a backdrop to the persistent off-course drama that continues to define LIV Golf. Jon Rahm clinched his third consecutive season-long individual championship, a feat achieved not through exceptional play in New York but by his closest competitor, Bryson DeChambeau, failing to gain sufficient ground. Rahm finished the tournament at 8 over par, while DeChambeau concluded at 7 over.
The tournament also saw a notable performance from Donald Trump, the club owner, who reportedly won the club championship with a gross score of 70. This achievement by the 80-year-old club owner contrasted with the performance of 14 LIV players who failed to shoot a round of 70 or lower throughout the week.
