Bubba Watson has revealed he had little interest in celebrating Talor Gooch's LIV Golf Adelaide victory on Sunday because the Range Goats did not win the team event.

Watson's Range Goats GC finished in second place on 46-under par, one stroke behind Dustin Johnson's rampant 4 Aces GC.

Two-time Masters champion Watson ended the week on 12-under par with his own ball and seven strokes behind Gooch, who clinched his maiden LIV Golf title.

Watson, 44, admits champagne corks will only fly when the Range Goats see out a LIV Golf team event.

The Range Goats are represented by Watson (c), Gooch, Harold Varner III and Thomas Pieters.

Watson said:

"I'm old, so I didn't do anything. He went out to dinner some of the staff. They had to stay longer. My mom was with me, so I had to get my mom back because she flew home after that. So we went back to the hotel.

"I didn't really celebrate with him. It's one of those things where, again, we celebrate with him, we talk to him but their focus was the team. We didn't win the team, so that's what -- that's really what we took away from it.

"Yes, this guy won, and it was great, it was amazing... his caddie is from Australia and gave him a flag. It was just an amazing experience.

"But celebration, we want to win the team. We celebrate when the team wins. We celebrate together. So that's really more of what we were looking for and what we want to do."
