Jon Rahm Earns $18M in Prize Money After Winning LIV Golf's Points Title

Jon Rahm got a significant payday following the conclusion of his debut season with LIV Golf.

The golfer won the final individual event of the season on Sunday by carding a 4-under 66, also securing the season points title with the win. By winning the season points title, Rahm took home the $18 million top prize, per Golf Monthly's Matt Cradock.

At LIV Golf Chicago on Sunday, Rahm had a few slip-ups on the back nine, missing two birdie putts that allowed Joaquín Niemann and Sergio Garcia to remain close behind him. He gained some breathing room on the 17th hole, carding a birdie on a 12-foot putt to take a three-stroke lead heading into the final hole.

The win marked Rahm's second in LIV Golf this season, his other win coming in England in August. He's finished inside the top 10 of every LIV Golf event this year except for the LIV Golf Houston, which he withdrew from due to a foot infection.

"I wanted to do a good show and get it over the line. I'm really happy," Rahm said, per the Associated Press (h/t ESPN). "To go bogey-free on the weekend, it's quite spectacular. I'm very proud of the putt on the 17th, which made 18 a lot easier."

Niemann and Garcia finished tied for second at 8-under 66. Neimann earned $8 million in prize money for finishing second in points with Garcia taking home a $4 million bonus for finishing third.
