Jon Rahm extends $46M LIV Golf streak but Bryson DeChamb

Jon Rahm’s improbable and lucrative run of consistency continued at LIV Golf Korea on Sunday, but he was no match for Bryson DeChambeau as the Spaniard’s winless streak goes on

Jon Rahm’s perfect streak of top-10 finishes since joining LIV Golf continued in South Korea on Sunday, but the two-time major champion was unable to match the brilliance of Bryson DeChambeau in Incheon.

Rahm has finished in the top-10 in all 19 LIV events he has completed since joining the breakaway league in 2023 – a streak that has earned him a whopping $45.7 million in prize money and order of merit winnings. The Spaniard carded a final-round 70 to finish at eight-under-par for the tournament, earning a share of seventh place.

But he finished a distance behind DeChambeau, who picked up his first win of the year by reaching 19-under-par for the tournament, two shots ahead of his Crushers teammate Charles Howell III.

Rahm has been the model of consistency since joining LIV. He won twice en route to winning the Individual Championship in his debut season, and he sits in third place in the standings this year at the halfway point, behind only DeChambeau and league leader Joaquin Niemann.

But Rahm’s standards are so high that a winless start to the year for the Legion XIII is sure to be galling. Big question marks hang over his form in the majors since joining the breakaway league, too.

Rahm was a perennial contender in the biggest tournaments before making the leap to LIV, but in four major starts since, he has just one top-10 finish and has not been a factor near the top of the leaderboard on Sundays.
