G-Mac Wraps Up 2026 LIV Golf Season in Indianapolis

Graeme brought his 2026 LIV Golf season to a close at The Club at Chatham Hills in Indianapolis, finishing tied 52nd after four rounds in Indiana.

G-Mac made a strong start to the week, opening with rounds of 68 and 69 to sit three under par at the halfway stage. A 72 on Saturday and closing 73 on Sunday saw him finish the tournament at two over par.

The event marked LIV Golf’s second consecutive visit to The Club at Chatham Hills and, following the cancellation of the planned Team Championship in Michigan, became the final event of the 2026 LIV Golf season.

Michael La Sasso claimed the individual title with an 18-under-par total, finishing one shot ahead of Jon Rahm. Rahm had already secured his third consecutive LIV Golf Individual Championship heading into the week and ended the season with another strong performance.

In the team competition, Legion XIII completed the week at 44 under par to take the 2026 Team Championship, while Graeme and OKGC finished 13th.

For G-Mac, Indianapolis brought the curtain down on another season competing around the world on the LIV Golf schedule.

G-Mac Wraps Up LIV Golf New York

Graeme completed another week on the LIV Golf schedule at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster, with the week beginning with a special reminder of one of the biggest moments of his career.

Ahead of the tournament, Graeme joined fellow USGA champions Bryson DeChambeau, Richard Bland, Josele Ballester, Martin Kaymer and Peter Uihlein for a visit to the USGA Golf Museum & Library.

With six USGA champions in the building, it was a chance to spend some time surrounded by the history of the game and reflect on Graeme’s own place within it as the 2010 U.S. Open champion at Pebble Beach.

Attention then turned to LIV Golf New York and four demanding days at Bedminster.

It proved to be a difficult week on the course for G-Mac, with rounds of 80, 74, 77 and 79 as the challenging layout tested every part of the game. Despite the result not being what he was looking for, Graeme battled through all four rounds and will now turn his attention to LIV Golf Indianapolis from August 20–23.

Joaquín Niemann took the individual title with a 16-under-par total, while Jon Rahm secured the 2026 LIV Golf Individual Championship.

For G-Mac, it’s now about resetting and moving forward as the LIV Golf season heads towards its closing stages.

G-Mac Battles Through Tough Week at LIV Golf UK

Graeme showed plenty of resilience at LIV Golf UK at JCB Golf & Country Club, finishing T53 after a demanding four rounds.

The Northern Irishman made a solid start with back-to-back rounds of level-par 72, staying in touch heading into the weekend on a course that rewarded aggressive scoring. As conditions toughened, G-Mac found the closing two rounds more challenging, carding 75 (+3) and 77 (+5) to finish the week at +8.

While the result wasn’t what Graeme was aiming for, there were positives to take from the opening two rounds. His patience and ball-striking kept him in the mix through 36 holes before the demanding JCB layout proved difficult to tame over the weekend.

Australia’s Lucas Herbert claimed victory with a tournament-record 30-under-par total, while G-Mac’s OKGC team finished 12th.

Graeme now turns his attention to the next LIV Golf event, looking to build on the encouraging signs from the opening half of the week.

Valderrama Provides Tough Challenge for G-Mac and OKGC

A tough week at a tough venue for Graeme, who finished in a tie for 51st place at the renowned Real Club Valderrama.

As always, Valderrama proved to be one of the sternest tests in professional golf, with firm fairways, thick rough, swirling winds and lightning-fast greens making scoring difficult throughout the field.

Graeme opened with an even-par 71 to sit comfortably in the pack after the first round, but increasingly demanding conditions over the weekend made it difficult to build momentum. Rounds of 74, 76 and 76 saw him finish the tournament at 13-over par.

OKGC Finish 10th in Team Competition

In the team event, OKGC finished in 10th place. While the result was below the team’s ambitions, the squad showed resilience on a course that tested every aspect of the game. Valderrama’s difficulty meant consistency was at a premium, and every player faced periods where limiting mistakes became the priority.

R1 +6, R2 -3, R3 +14, R4 +3, Total +20

With the European swing continuing, G-Mac and OKGC will look to take the positives from Andalucía and build momentum heading into the next event.

“Valderrama doesn’t give you anything. Every shot demands total commitment, and this year’s tournament was no exception.”

Graeme records T45 finish as OKGC claims runner-up spot in Korea

Graeme showed plenty of positive signs at LIV Golf Korea, opening the tournament with an impressive two-under-par 68 to put himself firmly in the mix after the first round. The former U.S. Open champion followed with rounds of 71, 73 and 71 to finish tied for 45th on three-over par for the week.

While the final position did not reflect the quality of golf he produced at times, G-Mac demonstrated the resilience and fighting spirit that have defined his career. His opening-round 68 featured six birdies and highlighted the sharp iron play and course management that remain key strengths of his game. Throughout the week, he continued to create scoring opportunities but found it difficult to string together the low rounds needed to climb the leaderboard on a demanding Korean layout.

There was, however, plenty to celebrate in the team competition. OKGC delivered one of its strongest performances of the season, finishing second on 20-under par, just three shots behind Crushers GC. Consistent scoring across all four rounds kept the team firmly in contention throughout the week, with rounds of -7, -7, -1 and -5 securing an impressive runner-up finish ahead of Ripper GC and 4Aces GC.

The result underlined the growing strength and chemistry within OKGC, with Graeme playing his part in another encouraging week for the team. While he will undoubtedly be looking for a higher individual finish at the next LIV Golf event, the strong team performance and flashes of excellent form provided plenty of positives to take forward.

G-Mac – T45: R1 -2, R2 +1, R3 +3, R4 +1, Total +3

APR 16–19, 2026

A challenging week in Mexico City for Graeme, finishing T52. G-Mac opened with back-to-back rounds of even par, staying within reach early on. Hoping for a bounce back over the weekend, it proved a tough test, with rounds of +1 and +6 seeing him slip down the standings.

Overall, a difficult week, but Mexico City remains a fantastic stop on the schedule, with great support out on the course. LIV Golf has also confirmed a return to Club de Golf Chapultepec, with LIV Golf Mexico City 2027 set to feature on next year’s schedule.

G-Mac Makes Back-to-Back Aces on the LIV Golf Tour as Smash GC Finishes 7th in Singapore

LIV Golf Singapore produced another special moment for Graeme as he recorded his second hole-in-one in consecutive LIV Golf events.

Playing at Sentosa Golf Club, G-Mac finished the week T28 at 3-under par, with the standout moment coming in Round 2 with another spectacular hole-in-one.

Round 2 Highlight: Another Hole-in-One

The ace was made even more notable because it came just one week after G-Mac’s hole-in-one at LIV Golf Hong Kong, giving him back-to-back aces on the LIV Golf schedule.

Hole-in-ones are rare even at the highest level of professional golf. The odds for a tour professional are estimated to be around 1 in 2,500, making two in consecutive weeks an exceptionally rare achievement.

Recording back-to-back aces is therefore a special moment for G-Mac and one of the standout highlights of his season so far.

Steady Week for Smash GC

It was also a steady showing for Smash GC, who finished 7th at 9-under par in the team competition.

The team’s scoring across the week was:

  • Round 1: E

  • Round 2: -5

  • Round 3: E

  • Round 4: -4

  • Total: -9

Smash GC will now turn their focus to the next LIV Golf event in South Africa.⛳

THE COURSE – Hong Kong Golf Club at Fanling

Built on the fantasy island of Sentosa, the Serapong has signature touches on every hole. Jungles down the flank, beaches beyond the greens and an iconic ‘drive over the ocean’ on 15. But it’s not all picture-postcards: this course is a fierce test of golf, and it’s already hosted a couple of LIV Golf classics.
