Jon Rahm caps off tumultuous week for LIV Golf with dominant win in Mexico

Jon Rahm claimed his second LIV Golf victory of the season in Mexico. 

The 31-year-old Spaniard was bogey-free as he went round Club de Golf Chapultepec on Sunday in seven-under 64. 

He finished on a 72-hole total of 21-under, six clear of his compatriot David Puig.

Rahm's Legion XIII teammate, Tyrrell Hatton, posted his second top 10 finish of the season. 

Bryson DeChambeau withdrew ahead of the final round, citing a wrist injury. 

It represents Rahm's fourth win since joining the breakaway in December 2023 and second of the campaign. 

And it comes as questions are being raised about the league's future. 

Earlier in the week, the Financial Times, New York Times and the Athletic were among the publications to report that LIV's financiers - Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund - are switching off the money tap at the end of the season. 

LIV Golf's chief executive, Scott O'Neil, told his players that their campaign will continue at "full throttle". 

But in an interview with TNT Sports, the 54-year-old American admitted the league was funded only through 2026 and he would "work like crazy" to ensure its survival. 

Rahm told reporters before the tournament got underway this week that he was not too worried about the rumours, insisting that he didn't want to waste time thinking about it.

"We knew we were going to play, so the idea was to prepare for a tournament and that's it," he said. 

He began the day with a two-shot lead but stretched it to six after racing out of the blocks. 

Rahm played the first five holes in five-under and never looked back. 

Puig threatened to make it interesting but dropped shots at the 13th and 15th to give Rahm a comfortable cushion down the stretch. 

"I've performed poorly down the stretch on this course having a chance to win before, so it's almost like I don't let myself believe it," Rahm said. 

"If you would have told me last week on Thursday afternoon that I'd be winning by a six-shot margin this week, I would not have believed you because of how bad I played. 

"[It was a] hell of an effort, and just what a Sunday."

It was the first time Rahm and his Ryder Cup teammate, Hatton, had played in the final group on LIV. 

But the Englishman went backwards, carding a 72 to share fifth place.
