For the second time in three events, Jon Rahm is a winner, this time at 2024 LIV Golf Chicago at Bolingbrook.
Rahm has finished first-second-first in his past three LIV Golf events. On Sunday at Bolingbrook Golf Club outside of Chicago, Rahm shot 4-under 66 in the final round to finish at 11 under for the week, three shots in front of Joaquin Niemann and Sergio Garcia.
For Rahm, in addition to the $4 million he takes home for his victory, the win also clinched him the season-long individual championship and the $18 million prize. Only Niemann or Rahm could clinch the individual championship this week, and the Spaniard took it home in his first year with the LIV Golf League.
Rahm didn’t finish worse than T-10 in his 12 events this year. Niemann, who also won twice, shot a bogey-free 66 on Sunday, but Rahm’s brilliance, which included a stellar birdie on the par-3 17th, was enough for the win.
In the team competition, Bryson DeChambeau’s Crushers GC won and clinched the first seed for the LIV Golf Team Championship next week at Maridoe in Dallas. Crushers GC won the team title last season at Doral in Miami. Rahm’s Legion XIII will be the second seed while Cameron Smith’s Ripper GC is the third team with an opening bye.
IronHeads GC finished last in the team standings, meaning it will be the only team not participating next week.
