WESTFIELD, Ind. (The Hinton News) – LIV Golf, the global golf league blending world-class competition with entertainment and culture to grow the game worldwide, today confirmed that the League’s 2026 season finale will celebrate an Indianapolis Champion, the 2026 Season Individual Champion and top three finishers and the 2026 Team Champion at the LIV Golf Indianapolis 2026 Championships. The four-day stroke play event will take place Aug. 20-23, at The Club at Chatham Hills where 57 players will contend for the Indianapolis individual title and final spots in the League’s individual season-long standings. The team competition will count the scores of all four players on each team every day, culminating with one of the 13 teams being crowned the 2026 LIV Golf Team Champion.
Legion XIII Captain Jon Rahm has clinched his third consecutive season-long Individual Championship with 944.54 points coming out of LIV Golf New York, but the other two spots on the 2026 podium remain up for grabs with Bryson DeChambeau (Crushers GC Captain), Joaquin Niemann (Torque GC Captain), Lucas Herbert (Ripper GC) and Tyrrell Hatton (Legion XIII) still in contention. DeChambeau, who won back-to-back events at LIV Golf Singapore and LIV Golf South Africa and has six top three finishes this season, currently holds second place with 726.20 points. Niemann, who owns a LIV Golf-record nine individual titles including LIV Golf Korea and last week’s LIV Golf New York, is currently in third place with 553.66 points. Herbert, who has also claimed two individual wins this year, trails closely behind with 541.41 points. Hatton, with four top five finishes this year including a win at LIV Golf Andalucia, remains in striking distance with 453.23 points. With 200 points awarded to the tournament winner, significant implications remain for the season’s leading players, with the top three in the final standings earning season-ending bonuses.
LIV Golf returns to Indianapolis where it welcomed a League U.S.-record 60,000 fans across three days in 2025, concurrently setting LIV Golf’s single-day U.S merchandise sales record. The League looks to build on that momentum this weekend with LIV Golf Indianapolis expected to push total season attendance beyond the League’s full-year 2025 mark. The anticipated accomplishment continues a year of record-setting growth across LIV Golf’s global event portfolio, spanning 10 countries and five continents. The League established new national attendance records for golf events in two countries this year, with more than 115,000 fans at LIV Golf Adelaide and more than 100,000 at LIV Golf South Africa, complemented by private premium hospitality that was fully subscribed across the League’s global schedule.
“As the 2026 LIV Golf season comes to a close after incredible competition across 10 countries and five continents, we reflect on record crowds, broadcast viewership, marketing partner support and social growth, alongside historic comebacks, emerging young talent, OWGR recognition and new pathways to the majors,” said LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil. “By concluding the season now, we can put our full resources behind what comes next and maintain the operational rigor this transition demands. We are reimagining LIV Golf as a fundamentally new League owned by the players and anchored in a sustainable business model, with an evolved fan experience built for the markets where the game is growing fastest across the globe and the support of world-class partners. Professional golf is more unified today than at any point since we launched, creating a genuine opportunity to grow the game together. Indianapolis will be a fitting finale for the League as fans have known it and the starting point for what we believe it can become.”
O’Neil continued, “As we concentrate on finishing the season strong and building the next chapter of LIV Golf, we’ll carry the energy and enthusiasm our fans have shown us into what comes next. The road ahead is possible because of the people who stand behind this League – our fans, players, caddies, employees, partners, and sponsors.”
With LIV Golf Indianapolis serving as the final event of the season, the previously scheduled Aramco LIV Golf Michigan, originally set for August 27-30, at The Cardinal at Saint John’s Resort, will not take place. LIV Golf is grateful to the Pulte Family Foundation for their partnership and support. Additionally, due to unavoidable changes in the entertainment program for LIV Golf Indianapolis, the League informed Thomas Rhett and Disco Lines that their live musical performances will no longer take place. LIV Golf recognizes the disappointment these changes may bring for fans, local stakeholders, Thomas Rhett and Disco Lines, and appreciates the significant time and effort invested by the artists and their teams.
Ticket holders for the Michigan event will receive refunds. While LIV Golf Indianapolis will still offer four incredible days of competition, ticket holders for the event can find more information regarding their options here.
“LIV Golf Indianapolis will deliver many of the world’s best players, exceptional competition and an elevated experience for fans and guests, both on and off the golf course,” said Ross Hallett, LIV Golf Executive Vice President, Head of Events. “LIV Golf has enjoyed a tremendous partnership with Chatham Hills, the City of Westfield, Hamilton County and the state of Indiana, and the League is committed to a long-term partnership with the community that has supported us since our record-setting Indianapolis debut last year. The addition of the Team Championship to this week’s event adds even more excitement to the world-class competition in store and we look forward to seeing everyone there.”
