Niemann and Gooch, both tied at 12 under after regulation, faced off in an intense playoff after finishing the final round with 3-under 67s. Niemann surged ahead with four birdies in five holes on the front nine, while Gooch's clutch 28-foot birdie on the 16th tied the match. In the playoff, Niemann’s precise approach set him up for the winning birdie.
Meanwhile, Bryson DeChambeau’s Crushers GC secured their record 10th team title, outperforming OKGC by three shots with a total of 23 under. The Crushers, bolstered by reserve player Travis Smyth, who tied for eighth at 7 under, proved their depth and resilience.
DeChambeau, finishing solo third at 11 under, expressed gratitude for his team's performance, especially with Smyth stepping up in place of the injured Paul Casey. This triumph marks a significant moment for the Crushers, solidifying their legacy in LIV Golf with 10 wins in just 50 regular-season starts.
