Danny Lee outlasted three competitors in a four-way playoff to win the LIV Golf event in Marana, his first professional victory since 2015.
Justin Spears Danny Lee had two options: chip or putt. He chose the latter and earned a $4 million payday.
The triumph marked the first LIV Golf victory for the 32-year-old New Zealand and South Korea native, who recently joined the Saudi-financed rebel golf league for its second season. It’s also the first time he’s won a professional event since 2015, when he won the Greenbrier Classic on the PGA Tour. Fireballs Golf Club, captained by Sergio Garcia, won the team leaderboard, shooting 25 under collectively. Abraham Ancer, Eugenio Chacarra, Garcia and Ortiz — who tied for second with Steele and Oosthuizen — will split $3 million four ways. Ortiz, Steele and Oosthuizen will each receive $1.58 million for their second-place finishes.
To make it even more challenging, the weather on Sunday was gusty with winds ranging from 15-20 mph. Chacarra from Fireballs GC said “it definitely played like another course the first 14 holes.” On the second go-around, Lee's approach shot bounced just over the lip of the bunker and rolled five feet past the pin. He missed a seemingly routine birdie putt, leaving the door open for Oosthuizen and Steele to extend the playoff one more time, which they did.
"Whenever I play in a tournament, I never really look at the prize money or anything like that. I just want to be the best I can be.Chip shots• At the end of the season in November, the top 24 players in the LIV Golf individual point standings will return for Season 3. Only the top 24 players on leaderboards at tournaments earn points. The winner of each tournament earns 40 points, second-place is awarded 30, third-place receives 24.
