Jon Rahm Defends LIV Golf Season Points Title Despite Playoff Loss Indianapolis

Jon Rahm successfully defended his LIV Golf season points title in 2025, earning the season-long individual championship without winning an event all year. Rahm closed with an impressive 11-under 60 in the final round at The Club at Chatham Hills, forcing a playoff with Sebastián Muñoz, who shot the first-ever 59 in professional golf history earlier in the tournament. Muñoz won the playoff with a birdie on the first extra hole, securing his first individual victory on the PIF-backed circuit and leading Torque GC to a team record score of 64 under. Chilean Joaquin Niemann, who won five events during the season, finished fourth and was unable to retain the season points lead against Rahm's consistent top-10 finishes. Ian Poulter avoided relegation with a late surge, while teammates Henrik Stenson and others faced relegation after missing key shots. Rahm's season-long consistency, highlighted by 12 top-10 finishes and a final round eagle and multiple birdies, earned him an $18 million bonus, marking his second individual LIV Golf title since joining the tour in late 2023.
