Jon Rahm once again showed on Sunday why he is one of the leading figures in world golf. The player from Barrika claimed victory at LIV Golf Mexico after posting a superb 64, seven under par, in the final round. It was the best possible finish to a very solid week, one in which he stayed in control throughout and closed things out with a champion’s performance when it mattered most.
Jon’s final tally at Chapultepec was 65 on Thursday, 67 on Friday, 67 on Saturday and 64 on Sunday, for a total of 263 shots, 21 under par. It was a sequence of remarkable consistency, without any real dips, built one day at a time until it turned into a commanding victory. He not only won, but did so while projecting an extraordinary sense of solidity, confidence and competitive maturity all week long.
The tournament began with very positive signs. On Thursday, Jon opened with a 65, six under par, placing himself near the top of the leaderboard right away. It was a high-quality round marked by accuracy off the tee, control with his irons and the feeling that he had quickly found the rhythm of the course.
He kept the momentum going on Friday. With a 67, four under par, Rahm continued to move forward with purpose and put himself in an excellent position heading into the weekend. It was another very solid day, without needing to force anything, but clearly showing that his game was exactly where it needed to be to contend for the title.
On Saturday, he responded with the same authority. He carded another 67, keeping the lead and going into the final day with everything in his favor, even though there was still work to do. It was a very complete round in which he managed the tournament well, handled the pressure and kept patiently building a very real chance to win.
Then came Sunday’s statement. Jon closed the championship with a magnificent 64, seven under par, his best round of the week. It was a brilliant performance, aggressive when required and extremely precise in the key moments. Far from simply protecting his lead, he went out to win the tournament decisively, and he did it with golf of the highest level. That final push allowed him to lift the trophy with a six-shot margin and confirm a victory that was as well-earned as it was well-played.
Because if Rahm made one thing clear in Mexico, it was his ability to control a tournament from start to finish. There was no need for miracle comebacks or dramatic twists. There was consistency, control, patience and talent. His win at Chapultepec is another example of his immense level and of his ability to turn a good week into a winning one.
Mexico also delivered a powerful image for Spanish golf, with Jon Rahm leading the way and David Puig and Josele Ballester completing a memorable top three. But the main figure was Jon, who once again lifted a title thanks to a performance that was serious, complete and deeply convincing.
LIV Golf Mexico 2026 now stands as another major week in Rahm’s career. And the best part was the way he did it: playing like the very best, taking charge when it was time to take charge, and closing out the tournament with the authority of a champion.
