Rahm won his third consecutive season-long title — 2024, 2025, 2026 — while Crushers GC claimed the team title on Sunday at LIV Golf New York.
Niemann, meanwhile, fought off Harold Varner III to win his ninth career individual tournament title, extending his all-time record, and his second win of the season.
Crushers GC's win in Bedminster was also their 11th regular-season team title on LIV Golf, extending their own all-time record as the winningest team in league history.
Their success has been built on a core roster that has remained together across multiple seasons under Captain Bryson DeChambeau.
Paul Casey led the way for the team on Sunday with a 3-under 68, backed by steady rounds from Anirban Lahiri and Charles Howell III as DeChambeau's group held off both Legion XIII and Torque GC down the stretch.

Legion XIII and Torque GC finished tied for second on the team leaderboard, both two shots back of the Crushers.
Rahm's individual championship-clinching week came despite a poor final round of 5-over 76, with Caleb Surratt (71) and Tom McKibbin (72) doing the heavy lifting for Legion XIII.

Torque GC's push was fueled once again by Niemann, whose closing 2-under 69 sealed his win by three shots and pushed him to 16 under for the week, three shots clear of Varner III.
