The South African birdied the 16th to regain the lead, only for Rahm and Ballester to birdie the 18th to force a playoff. On the 18th in the playoff, Ballester and Rahm both missed birdie chances from the 12-foot range. Burmester won $4 million for his second LIV Golf victory.

There also was a team playoff, with Burmester’s Stinger team beating Torque for the team title.
