Rahm Dominates LIV Golf Mexico City with Stunning 62-Final Round to Claim Victory
Jon Rahm reminded the golfing world exactly why he remains one of the sport's most formidable competitors, delivering a spectacular final-round performance to claim victory at LIV Golf Mexico City on Sunday. The Spanish star fired a remarkable 9-under 62 in his closing round, overcoming difficult conditions at Club de Golf México to finish a commanding nine strokes ahead of his nearest rivals.
Watch the highlights:
Rahm's wire-to-wire victory was highlighted by an exceptional back nine, where he carded six birdies to surge clear of the field. His 72-hole total of 257 (62-66-67-62) tied the tournament record and secured the $20 million event title in convincing fashion. The win marks Rahm's second individual title of the 2026 LIV Golf season and extends his lead in the season-long points race.
Despite the victory, questions about LIV Golf's future persist. The league has faced ongoing scrutiny over its business model and television deals, with recent reports suggesting potential broadcast challenges. However, LIV Golf Commissioner Greg Norman was quick to address concerns, stating: 'This organization is not going anywhere. We have secured multi-year commitments and are expanding our global footprint with new events in Asia and the Middle East.'
The Spanish star acknowledged the external noise but kept his focus squarely on his game. 'I came here to win golf tournaments, and that's exactly what I did,' Rahm said during the trophy ceremony. 'All the other stuff is out of my control. What I can control is how I play, and I played really well this week.'
Rahm's commanding performance also had implications for his team, Crushers GC, who maintained their position at the top of the team standings. His individual brilliance complemented strong showings from his teammates, keeping the franchise in contention for the team championship.
The victory provides momentum for Rahm as he looks to continue his dominance throughout the 2026 season, while also serving as a statement that LIV Golf's top stars remain committed to delivering elite competition regardless of the league's business uncertainties.
