Rahm Secures Victory in Mexico as LIV Golf Faces Uncertainty

Jon Rahm emerged victorious at the LIV Golf Mexico City, closing with a remarkable seven-under 64 on Sunday to claim a six-shot win, his second triumph this year on the Saudi-backed circuit. The week was marked by turmoil surrounding the league's financial stability, with CEO Scott O'Neil addressing staff concerns about funding through a memo, following reports that the Saudi Public Investment Fund might be ending its support. A power outage on Tuesday and a two-hour streaming disruption during the opening round added to the speculation. However, LIV Golf announced its return to Chapultepec Golf Club next year. Rahm, who went winless last season on LIV despite claiming the points title, began strongly with a birdie on the second hole and an eagle on the next, playing bogey-free. His win came as a surprise, given his recent performance. Bryson DeChambeau withdrew from the final round due to a wrist injury, while David Puig finished second, securing valuable world ranking points and a likely spot in the PGA Championship. The next LIV Golf event is scheduled for May 7-10 at Trump National Golf Club in Washington DC.
