Article Updated in June 2025
Joaquin Niemann fired a final round 63 to claim a one shot victory at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club - his fourth LIV victory of 2025.
The Chilean secured his fourth victory this year in eight LIV Golf events, taking the individual title at LIV Golf Virginia by a shot over Graeme McDowell. He heads to the US Open having won three of his past five LIV Golf starts and coming off his best finish in a major yet, a T-8 finish in the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow.
With the win, Niemann takes home $4 million of the $20 million purse. Meanwhile, Bryson DeChambeau's Crushers GC earned the team title for the second straight event and will split the $3 million that comes with it.
