41-year-old Marc Leishman has today won his first Liv Golf event with a one-shot victory over Charl Schwartzel at the Liv Golf Miami event at the Trump National Doral.
Leishman who joined LIV Golf in 2023 has been runner-up on two occasions previously but his 4 under par final round of 68 saw him not only claim the individual title but lead the Rippers Team of Cam Smith, Lucas Herbert and Matt Jones to victory in the team’s event.
Not only does Leishman pocket the US4 million for the first place individual prize (the biggest of his career) but he will also claim another US$750,000 as his share of the US$3 million team prize.
Unfortunately for Leishman he is not in this coming week’s Masters field in which he has previously recorded three top tens.
Cam Smith on the eve of another tilt at the Masters where he has performed so well finished tied for 9th, Lucas Herbert shared 18th and Matt Jones 21st in the 54-player field.
