The 2026 LIV Golf New York is complete at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster in Bedminster, New Jersey, where Joaquin Niemann finished off a wire-to-wire victory and the team race was decided late on Championship Sunday.
CaddyBytes 🏆 2026 LIV Golf New York Final Round Highlights: Joaquin Niemann closed out the victory at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster with a final-round 69, finishing at 16-under 268 and winning by three shots over Harold Varner III. Niemann began the day with the lead, absorbed the early pressure, then produced the decisive shots on the back nine to complete a wire-to-wire win.
Varner stayed close for much of the round after beginning Sunday two shots back. His challenge remained alive deep into the final nine, but a late bogey opened the door for Niemann to create separation. Varner finished alone in second at 13-under after a closing 70.
Niemann delivered the tournament's defining stretch late in the round. A world-class approach on the back nine gave him another birdie opportunity, and another birdie shortly afterward pushed the margin far enough that Varner could not recover. Niemann sealed the title at the finish and became a LIV Golf winner for the ninth time across three seasons.
Scott Vincent produced one of Sunday's strongest rounds, closing with a bogey-free 66 to finish tied for third at 9-under. Lee Westwood joined him at 9-under after a final-round 72. Byeong Hun An finished fifth at 7-under, while Paul Casey, Tom McKibbin and Thomas Pieters tied for sixth at 6-under.
Branden Grace and Y.H. Song tied for ninth at 4-under. Casey's closing 68 also proved important in the team competition, where Crushers GC ultimately secured the team victory after the final holes decided the battle with Legion XIII.
Championship Sunday also settled the season-long individual race. Jon Rahm clinched the 2026 LIV Golf individual season title with one regular-season event remaining, leaving Bryson DeChambeau unable to catch him. Niemann's New York victory also moved him up to third in the individual standings.
Champion: Joaquin Niemann completed rounds of 64-65-70-69 for a 16-under 268 total and a three-shot victory over Harold Varner III.
