On Sunday at the 2026 LIV Golf Singapore activity, Bryson DeChambeau finished a winless dry spell along with a rebound playoff triumph. However certainly not without a little bit of assistance coming from his playoff competition.
That gamer, LIV Golf crazy memory card Richard T. Lee, amazingly overlooked a brief putt that will possess expanded the playoff to yet another gap.
The ruthless end left behind DeChambeau along with blended emotions when he raised his 4th LIV Golf private prize on Sunday at Sentosa Golf Nightclub.
DeChambeau’s LIV Singapore succeed begun along with rebound charge
DeChambeau’s final LIV succeed can be found in Might of in 2013, when he thrived at LIV Golf Korea along with a three-round credit rating overall of 19 under the same level. That finished an also a lot longer LIV winless dry spell for the two-time U.S. Open champ, going back to September 2023.
This week’s activity appeared like it was actually Bryson’s to shed coming from the outset. He led after the very first as well as 2nd spheres. However 4 bogeys on Time 3 provided DeChambeau a 72. Keeping that he’d dropped his top as well as moved in to Sunday’s ultimate shot round responsible for Joaquin Niemann as well as Lee Westwood.
DeChambeau visited shooting on Sunday, holing out for bald eagle on the fourth gap as well as including 2 additional birdies just before play was actually put on hold as a result of violent climate. Even with his very hot begin, which relocated him to 12 under, DeChambeau located themself additionally off the top at the middle, two shots behind Niemann.
But Niemann made three bogeys coming home, while DeChambeau drained two additional birdies, including one on the 18th hole, to pass him and reach 14 under.
One problem: Lee had birdied four of his last six holes, including the final two, to tie DeChambeau at 14 under. That forced a sudden death playoff.
And the playoff couldn’t have started worse for Bryson. He rinsed his tee shot at the par-5 18th, immediately putting his victory in doubt.
Lee, on the other hand, steadily set up a 10-foot birdie putt. Incredibly, DeChambeau was able to get up-and-down after losing his drive in the water, giving him a par despite the penalty.
If Lee holed his mid-range birdie, he’d win. A textbook two-putt would extend the playoff to another hole. Then disaster struck.
Lee’s first attempt ran by the hole by 2-3 feet. His comebacker dived toward the hole… then devastatingly lipped out.
The TV cameras shot to DeChambeau. He had just won his fourth LIV Golf title, but all he could do was put his hands behind his head and register a look of shock at what had just occurred.

“Absolutely hated it for Richard [T. Lee]. He’s been playing some unbelievable golf. He’s beat me in a few of the rounds I’ve played with him, and he’s a stellar player,” DeChambeau said Sunday afternoon. “I wanted to go another hole with him. As much as winning is great, I have a lot of respect for Richard and the way he golfs his ball out there.”
LIV’s biggest star then shoveled more praise on Lee, admitting that coming down the stretch he thought his victory was already secure. Lee’s late charge changed that in a big way.
“It was quite impressive; I was coming down the last three holes, like all right, I think I’m one ahead of everybody, and seeing Richard go and play the way he did finishing out, he’s a real superstar, and the league should be really proud to have him on as a wild card,” DeChambeau said of Lee.
Bryson did allow himself to soak in the positives from his victorious moment a little bit.
“It was huge for me, especially with it being wet conditions and thick blades and struggling with my wedges,” DeChambeau said. “However to get it done was quite memorable and — even hitting it in the water on the last gap for the playoff, G-Bo is like, ‘Bryson, just go make par, that’s all you can do.’ And we went as well as did that.”

“Oh, incredible relief,” DeChambeau admitted. “I haven’t won in four rounds since the U.S. Open 2024. Being able to come through on a golf course like this that’s super brutal and demands precision on every single fired, especially along with the conditions changing, I couldn’t be more happy for my team.”
