LIV Golf: How much did each player win at the Boston Invitational?

Dustin Johnson provided a highlight reel moment at the LIV Golf Boston Invitational on Sunday night, holing an incredible eagle putt in a playoff to seal his first win on the Saudi-backed series.

Having hit his ball into trouble with his second shot on the par-5 18th hole in regulation play, Johnson saved par to force a playoff with LIV Golf newcomers Joaquin Niemann and Anirban Lahiri.

On his 54th hole, Lahiri missed a seven-foot eagle putt for the win. He squandered this golden opportunity which would've banked him $4 million.

In the playoff, all three players went back down the 18th. Johnson found the bottom tier of the putting surface with his second shot, while Lahiri was greenside for two.

Niemann found a fairway bunker short of the green and the young Chilean was unlikely to make a birdie. It proved not to matter as the 38-year-old Johnson rattled in his eagle to seal victory at The International.

It was the two-time major champion's first win on the LIV Golf Tour and alongside Pat Perez, Patrick Reed and Talor Gooch, 4 Aces won their third consecutive team event too.

"It was going a little fast, but it was a good line! I felt like I played really well all week, I got some unlucky breaks here (18th hole) the first time around, so it owed me one and I got it," Johnson said on Sunday.

"You know the guys are playing different holes, so you've just got to handle your business. It doesn't really matter, I knew I needed a birdie on 18 in regulation.

"I felt like I hit a really good drive and hit a really good second shot - I made a good five to get in the playoff and then obviously made a really nice putt there."
