LIV Golf UK 2025: Final Round Leaderboard updates as Joaquin Niemann closes in on record seventh win

Legion -29 (8*)

Rahm's Legion have now pulled three shots ahead in the team event. 

With all four player scores on a team counting there is a lot of volatility on the board.

The title defence is very much on. 

Rahm's Legion XIII have hit the front for the first time in the final round.

The defending champs are now one shot ahead as we approach the back nine. 

Surratt -9 (6)

Surratt birdies the par-4 6th to move into a tie for second with Watson.

The race for silver is exciting at least, with seven players within two shots of second place. 

Niemann -16, Watson -9 (4)

Niemann tugged his approach left into the rough and he left himself a testy 12 footer for par.

But as has been the case for 40 holes at JCB, Niemann's putter stays hot.

His par putt caught the left side and went down.

Watson has cut the deficit to seven shots after making a birdie from seven feet. 

Niemann -16 (3)

Niemann gets up and down for birdie on the par-5 3rd and he's now 16-under par and EIGHT shots clear of Meronk, Surratt and Watson.

Niemann's Torque GC now also lead by three shots over Legion XIII in the team event. 

Surratt -8 (3)

Few people expected Surratt to be the leading member of Legion this week but that's exactly the case.

Surratt has just popped in a birdie on the par-5 3rd to move into a tie for second on 8-under par.

Jon Rahm's Legion XIII are making a big push to try and catch Niemann's Torque today.

The defending champions are now just one shot behind Torque. 

It looks like the team event will be close at least...

Watson -7 (2)

Watson drops one at the short par-4 2nd and he's back in the pack at 7-under par. 

Meronk -8 (1)

Meronk moves into a tie for second with a birdie at the opener. 

Seven back. 

DeChambeau -6, Rahm -5 (1*)

Opening birdies for the pre-tournament favourites on their 1st hole. 

Both way off the pace but pleasing starts nonetheless. 

Koepka -1 (1*)

GolfMagic caught Brooks Koepka grinding hard on the putting green late last night, and it looks like it was all worth it.

Koepka has just drilled a driver to 12 feet on the par-4 12th, his 1st of the day, and he's just buried the putt from right to left for eagle. 

Great start.

Brooks into the red. 

We're moments away from the start of the final round, which as always, gets underway with a shotgun start.

Groups will begin in five minutes. 

Joaquin Niemann holds a huge six-shot lead heading into the final round as he looks to close out a record fifth win on the season and a seventh overall. 

He's also looking to wrap up a first ever Individual Championship. 

Here's a look at final round groups:
