For the first time, LIV Golf made its debut in Riyadh, marking a significant shift from Jeddah’s Royal Greens Golf & Country Club. The 2025 season opener saw Polish golfer Adrian Meronk secure his first LIV Golf title, finishing 17 under par and earning a $4 million prize. He held off Jon Rahm and Sebastián Muñoz, proving his resilience after missing the cut at the Dubai Desert Classic weeks prior.
Key Highlights from LIV Golf Riyadh 2025:
- Meronk’s Breakthrough Win: A wire-to-wire victory cemented Meronk’s place in LIV Golf history.
- Legion XIII Leads the Team Competition: Rahm’s squad dominated, finishing 11 shots ahead of Ripper GC.
- Rookie Tom McKibbin Impresses: The Northern Irishman secured a T15 finish in his LIV Golf debut.
- Night Golf Spectacle: Players competed under floodlights, an exciting but challenging format.
- Westwood’s Costly Mistake: A rare rule violation dropped Lee Westwood out of contention.
With the LIV Golf Adelaide event next, the season is off to a thrilling start.
