Rahm wins LIV Mexico City title
Spaniard dominates final round to seal victory
Jon Rahm closed with a brilliant 7-under-par 64 to capture the LIV Golf Mexico City title at Club de Golf Chapultepec, finishing the tournament at 21-under 263 — six strokes clear of fellow Spaniard David Puig. Rahm, who had held the lead since the second round, produced his best score of the week on the final day, turning a close contest into a comfortable victory with a stretch of low scoring early on and steady play through the finish.
The final round featured a standout sequence that set Rahm apart. After opening the day with a birdie at the second hole, his 390-yard drive at the par-4 third came to rest about three feet from the cup, leaving a tap-in eagle that swung momentum decisively. He then converted a 13-foot birdie at the par-3 fourth and followed with a 20-foot birdie at the fifth, racing out to a hot start that no challenger could match. Rahm finished his round with 11 pars and two additional back-nine birdies, closing out the day with authority and composure.
Rahm’s victory extended an impressive run of form on the LIV circuit; it was his sixth consecutive top-five finish to open the season, adding to previous wins, including one in Hong Kong, and multiple runner-up showings. The win also translated into team success — Rahm’s squad, Legion XIII, claimed the team title for the event, finishing 45-under for the week and securing the team’s third straight win at this tournament. Rahm’s teammates played key supporting roles: England’s Tyrrell Hatton and Northern Ireland’s Tom McKibbin joined a five-way tie for fifth at 11-under, while Caleb Surratt contributed 2-under for the week.
As the LIV season progresses, Rahm’s form and Legion XIII’s momentum will be closely watched by rivals. The Mexico City win provides valuable points and prestige for both the player and his team, while the tournament’s competitive leaderboard — featuring multiple international players near the top — reflects the growing depth and global reach of the series.
