Jon Rahm concludes a tumultuous week in Mexico with an additional victory at LIV Golf.

MEXICO CITY — Jon Rahm concluded a tumultuous week at LIV Golf with a final round of 7-under 64 on Sunday, securing a six-shot victory at LIV Golf Mexico City, marking his second win of the year on the tour.
Last season, Rahm did not secure a victory on LIV, although he did earn the points title. He had previously faced disappointment in 2017 at Chapultepec Golf Club when it hosted a World Golf Championship.
This time, there was no uncertainty after he made a birdie on the reachable par-4 second hole and followed it up with an eagle on the next hole, finishing the round without any bogeys.
“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 poorly I played,” Rahm remarked, having tied for 38th at the Masters. “Hell of a an effort.”
The week was marked by uncertainty regarding the Saudi-funded league, with CEO Scott O’Neil sending a memo to staff confirming that LIV was guaranteed funding through the end of the year amidst speculation about the league’s financial stability.
LIV announced on Sunday that it would return to Chapultepec next year.
A power outage on Tuesday added to the speculation, as the streaming service went down for two hours during the opening round. Additionally, Bryson DeChambeau withdrew from the final round, citing a wrist injury that he wished to avoid aggravating.
DeChambeau, who was aiming to become the first player to win three consecutive times on LIV Golf, was 16 shots behind Rahm when he ceased play.
“I experienced some discomfort in my wrist during yesterday’s round and have decided to withdraw from the final round of LIV Golf Mexico City to prevent further injury,” DeChambeau stated in a social media update. “Not how I wanted this week to go.”
DeChambeau mentioned that he would undergo evaluation and hoped to participate in LIV Golf Virginia from May 7-10, a week prior to the PGA Championship.
Rahm continued to perform well, as did his Legion XIII team, which achieved its first victory of the year.
David Puig shot a 66 to finish in second place, earning valuable world ranking points and nearly guaranteeing his spot in the PGA Championship. The Spaniard is in a position where another strong finish in Virginia could qualify him for the U.S. Open.
