Jon Rahm wins 2024 LIV Golf individual title, $18 million bonus

Jon Rahm wins 2024 LIV Golf individual title, $18 million bonus

When Jon Rahm signed late last year with LIV Golf, he instantly became the best player in the league.

He backed that up all season long, and he was rewarded for it Sunday.

The 29-year-old claimed the 2024 LIV Golf League individual title, a season-long points race similar to that of the FedEx Cup. Rahm held off Joaquin Niemann, the only other player who had a chance to win the lucrative bonus, and will take home the $18 million prize.

Rahm won for the second time this season Sunday, capturing the title at 2024 LIV Golf Chicago at Bolingbrook Golf Club. It was his second victory of the year, and he didn’t place worse than T-10 in 12 events (he withdrew due to injury from LIV Golf Houston in June).

Dustin Johnson won the individual champion in LIV’s inaugural eight-event season in 2022, and last year, it was Talor Gooch taking home the title after a three-win season.

In addition to his two wins and 12 top-10 finishes, Rahm earned $16,737,904 in individual earnings.

LIV’s season will come to a close at the Team Championship finale at Maridoe in Dallas, Sept. 20-22.
