Jon Rahm ended a tumultuous week on the LIV Golf tour with a decisive win, carding a 7-under 64 on Sunday to claim a six-stroke victory at the LIV Golf Mexico City event, marking his second win this year on the Saudi-backed circuit. The week was marred by speculation surrounding the league's financial stability, prompted by reports that the Saudi Public Investment Fund may be withdrawing its support. In response, LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil assured staff that funding was secured through the end of the year. Despite a power outage and streaming issues during the event, LIV Golf announced its return to Chapultepec Golf Club next year.
Rahm, who went winless last season on the LIV tour, dominated the competition, playing bogey-free and making a strong statement with his victory. His win was a welcome turnaround after a disappointing performance at the Masters. Bryson DeChambeau, meanwhile, withdrew from the final round due to a wrist injury, dashing his hopes of becoming the first player to win three consecutive LIV Golf events. Rahm's team, Legion XIII, also secured its first win of the year, while David Puig finished second, bolstering his world ranking and positioning himself for a potential spot in the PGA Championship and US Open.
