Jon Rahm Dominates Virginia to Claim LIV Crown

Jon Rahm's clinical finish at Trump National Washington left the field in no doubt. The Spanish powerhouse carded a final-round 67 to close on 21-under par, finishing six clear of David Puig in second. Rahm's consistency across the three rounds, underpinned by a blistering opening 65, made this wire-to-wire masterclass look effortless. The gap tells the story: nobody else came within striking distance.

Our Pick: How Did We Do?

We don't have a pre-event pick on file for Virginia, so there's no angle to revisit here. That said, this was Rahm's tournament to lose from the opening tee shot, and the market had him well-priced at 0.44/1. His dominance across 54 holes underscored why he remains one of the most formidable players in LIV Golf.

Key Moments

Rahm's opening round set the tone immediately. A 65 in round one put daylight between him and the field, and he never blinked. David Puig's final-round 62 was the round of the week, catapulting him into second place, but it came too late to threaten the leader. The real fight played out for third: Jose Luis Ballester's closing 65 secured bronze at 14-under, with Scott Vincent holding fourth at 12-under despite a steady rather than explosive final round.

The chasing pack remained fractured throughout. Five players finished tied at 11-under (Thomas Detry, Branden Grace, Tyrrell Hatton, Tom McKibbin and Matthew Wolff), but none could find the consistency Rahm delivered.

Next Tournament

LIV Golf now turns its attention to the next leg of the season. Rahm's momentum will travel wherever the circuit pitches next, though this was a performance that suggests he's hit peak form at exactly the right moment. Puig and Ballester have shown they can compete at this level; expect both to feature in upcoming betting markets.
