Jon Rahm Dominates LIV Mexico as Financial Questions Swirl

Jon Rahm closed with a seven-under 64 on Sunday for a six-shot victory at LIV Golf Mexico City, his second win this year on the Saudi-funded circuit. The Spaniard went bogey-free at Chapultepec Golf Club, making birdie on the reachable par-4 second hole and holing out for eagle on the next. "If you would have told me last week on Thursday afternoon that I'd be winning by a six-shot margin this week, I would not have believed you because of how bad I played," Rahm said, noting he tied for 38th in the Masters.

The week was overshadowed by uncertainty surrounding LIV's financial future. Reports emerged that the Saudi Public Investment Fund was set to end its financial support for the circuit, prompting CEO Scott O'Neil to write a memo to staff assuring funding through the end of the year. A power outage during Tuesday's opening round, which cut streaming for two hours, only added to the turmoil.

Bryson DeChambeau withdrew from the final round with a wrist injury, ending his bid to become the first player to win three straight LIV Golf events. David Puig finished second at 66, securing valuable world ranking points and nearly assuring himself a spot in the PGA Championship. Rahm's Legion XIII team also won for the first time this year.
