The 2026 LIV Golf season came to a conclusion Sunday outside of Indianapolis.
Michael La Sasso became the youngest winner in LIV’s history at The Club at Chatham Hills, birdieing the 72nd hole to beat Jon Rahm by a shot. Now, the league’s first version will cease to exist, as CEO Scott O’Neil and Co. work to bring to life LIV Golf 2.0.

LIV is known for its high purses and monumental amounts of money given out to players. This season, more than 13 players earned at least $5 million, a number that likely would’ve been higher if not for two events getting canceled.
