Bryson DeChambeau claimed his fourth LIV Golf League title and first 72-hole victory since his 2024 US Open triumph with a dramatic play-off win at the Aramco LIV Golf Singapore. DeChambeau, starting the final round three strokes behind Joaquin Niemann and Lee Westwood, fired a five-under 66 to finish on 14 under. The players returned to the par-five 18th for a play-off, where Westwood's three-putt bogey handed DeChambeau victory after he recovered from a water find. DeChambeau's first 72-hole win since the US Open 2024 came after a tense battle where he rallied from a bogey at the fifth, posting birdies from the eighth to close with a bogey-free back nine. Joaquin Niemann slipped away after a storm delay, while Westwood secured third.

DeChambeau expressed relief and respect for wildcard Richard T Lee, who matched him at 14 under. Lee's missed 10-foot birdie and subsequent short putt extended the contest. The event marked the second of three consecutive LIV events in three weeks, with the next in South Africa.
