Surratt continues to climb
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.
Joaquin Niemann wins LIV Golf UK
LIV Golf UK Final Leaderboard: Joaquin Niemann captures record seventh LIV Golf League win
LIV Golf UK Final Scores: Torque GC captain Joaquin Niemann wins for the fifth time this season and a record seventh time overall on LIV Golf.
Niemann, 26, closed with a 68 to see out a three-shot victory over Bubba Watson at JCB Golf & Country Club.
He started the final day with a huge six-shot lead and Watson whittled it down to just two shots when making birdie on The Party Hole 14th.
But Niemann quickly sealed the deal with a clutch birdie from six feet on the 15th.
The win not only marks Niemann's fifth of the season but also a record seventh on the LIV Golf League, with all of his wins coming since 2024.
The Torque GC captain is also now rapidly closing in on a first Individual Championship with two more regular events on the schedule.
Jon Rahm's Legion XIII successfully defended their team title by a whopping eight shots.
Legion XIII will now be assured of the No.1 seed at the season-ending Team Championship in Michigan next month.
Joaquin Niemann | -17 | 68 |
Bubba Watson | -14 | 65 |
Caleb Surratt | -13 | 65 |
Talor Gooch | -11 | 66 |
Dean Burmester | -10 | 66 |
Jon Rahm | -10 | 65 |
Legion XIII | -35 |
Torque GC | -27 |
Stinger GC | -26 |
Niemann incredibly sacked both his caddie and coach last weekend.
That was after he missed his second straight cut in the majors at The Open at Royal Portrush.
Despite Niemann's incredible performances on LIV Golf, he has only registered one top-10 finish in 26 major appearances.
Niemann spoke openly about a lack of confidence after The Open and his decision to fire his caddie and coach when speaking to reporters after the second round of LIV Golf UK.
He had his good friend Diego Salinas on the bag this week having previously worked with Gary Matthews since the 2020 US Open.

Niemann only five ahead
Niemann -15 (6), Surratt -10 (7)
Two shot swing.
Niemann bogey at 6.
Surratt birdie at 7.
Only five ahead now.
14:22
Niemann seven ahead
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.
14:12
Niemann eight ahead
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.

Legion on the charge
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...
13:51
Watson bogey
Watson -7 (2)
Watson drops one at the short par-4 2nd and he's back in the pack at 7-under par.
13:44
Rahm chip-in birdie
Rahm -6
Rahm hits arguably the shot of the week so far with a stunning chip-in birdie from 60 yards left of the green at the par-4 6th.
A chip-in birdie-birdie start for the defending champ pushes him up to 6-under par.
But that's still nine back.
Two hole outs. Two birdies. 👀@jonrahmofficial is feelin’ it early 💪

Meronk birdie at 1
Meronk -8 (1)
Meronk moves into a tie for second with a birdie at the opener.
Seven back.
13:28
Niemann birdie at 1
Niemann -15 (1)
Nerves?
Yeah, of steel.
Niemann splits the fairway then fires a dart to six feet left of the pin.
The Chilean converts the birdie putt to move to 15-under par and strengthen his lead to seven shots.
The engraver is already at work.
His playing partners Watson and Casey both make par at 1.
It could prove to be an even better day for Niemann with his Torque GC four shots ahead in the team event.
13:20
Birdies for Rahm and DeChambeau
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.
13:19
Brooks starts with eagle
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.
Last player to leave the putting green tonight, Brooks Koepka. Not the first time this week either. Grinding hard no doubt with Ryder Cup on his mind. #LIVGolfpic.twitter.com/BXF4kNaht8
— Andy Roberts (@AndyRobertsGolf) July 26, 2025
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.
.@BKoepka drives the 324-yard par 4, 12th for eagle out the gate 🔥
