Lucas Herbert's Historic Wire-to-Wire Victory 🏆
Lucas Herbert never surrendered the lead across all four rounds, producing a masterclass performance from start to finish. He opened with an 8-under 64 on Thursday, then fired a bogey-free 9-under 63 on Friday — the largest 36-hole lead (6 shots) in the 2026 LIV Golf season and tied for the second-largest after two rounds in league history. After a composed 4-under 68 in Round 3, Herbert closed with a 3-under 69 on Sunday to seal the title by 4 strokes over Sergio Garcia.
The victory was not only Herbert's first LIV Golf title but also earned him a coveted 2026 U.S. Open exemption, vaulting him to No. 3 in the season-long Individual Championship standings. "My first major ever was at Shinnecock in 2018," Herbert said. "Nice to go back and see what I've learned since then. Can't wait to get there and try to play like I did this week."
Round-by-Round Highlights ⚡
- Ballester's jaw-dropping 60: Spanish youngster Josele Ballester fired a bogey-free 12-under 60 in Round 3 — one of the lowest rounds in LIV Golf history — moving from T50th a year ago into solo 5th place on the week.
- DeChambeau–Rahm–Detry group: The top 3 in the 2026 Individual Championship standings (Rahm, DeChambeau, Detry) played in the same group in Round 3 and combined for 21-under — the second-lowest group total in LIV Golf history. DeChambeau shot a bogey-free 8-under 64.
- Garcia's barefoot par save: In Round 3, Sergio Garcia's drive on the par-4 13th landed in the muddy water hazard. Garcia removed his socks and shoes, waded in, and pulled off a stunning par save to stay in contention.
- President Trump attends: President Donald Trump watched the final round in person at his own course — his second consecutive week attending a major golf event at a Trump property (following Cameron Young's win at Trump National Doral the prior week).
- Anthony Kim's continued resurgence: The once-disappeared American finished T6th at -16, earning $650,000 and further cementing his competitive comeback.
