Graeme was back firing this week coming home in T14 place at The Club at Chatham Hills, USA. On Friday, G-Mac bounced back strongly, recovering from a bogey on the 17th (his 4th) with a streak of three birdies on 7, 8 and 9 (his 12th, 13th, 14th), then adding another on the 13th (his 17th) to close the day at -3.

He stepped it up further on Saturday, firing a five-under round that featured seven birdies against just two dropped shots. On Sunday, Graeme carried the momentum, racing to five under through his first ten holes. A bogey on the 16th (his 13th) was quickly offset with a birdie at the 3rd (his 17th), securing back-to-back rounds of five under par.

This solid T14 finish was a timely boost after a couple of quieter weeks, while Team Smash GC ended the event in 10th place overall with a score of -4 -7 -16, Total -27

THE COURSE

Whisper the name ‘Pete Dye’ and you’re likely to strike fear into the hearts of golfers everywhere. After all, this is the guy who created Whistling Straits and Sawgrass. The guy who redefined the terrifying par 3.

Chatham Hills, north of Indianapolis, is Dye’s last great course. The one he considered his masterpiece. Each subtle slope has been sculpted into a sneaky trap, and there are watery jaws all over the property, just waiting to devour a wayward drive.

It’s a fitting place to crown the new LIV Golf Individual Champion. and we’re likely to see some superb golf as the players battle for those all-important final spots, which will determine who stays in the league, who goes, and who gets a new contract with their team.

Now, let’s take a closer look at the host venue, and the architect who made it all possible.

A week to forget for G-Mac in Chicago. It was one of those weeks where it just wasn’t happening, as he finished T52 at +8 (72, 75, 74). Graeme opened with a +1, 72 – his best round of the tournament. Saturday’s card was all pars apart from four bogeys, while Sunday mirrored that pattern, brightened by a birdie on the 18th (his 5th hole of the day). With two LIV events remaining, Graeme will be aiming to recapture the early-season form that saw him shine. Smash GC finished T8 at +1 (–2, +5, –2), delivering good scoring on both Friday and Sunday.

THE COURSE

Located just an hour outside Chicago in one of the great city’s most beautiful suburbs, Bolingbrook Golf Club was the vision of Roger Claar, the former Mayor of Bolingbrook, who wanted to create a new focal point for his community.

The course is elite by any measure, with designer Arthur Hills creating signatures everywhere: the island green par-3, the 600-yard par 5, the lakes shimmering all over the property. But elitist? Definitely not. Green fees are extremely affordable, and there are five sets of tees, so players of all abilities can find the right level of tough.

Bolingbrook opened in 2002 and immediately earned rave reviews, being named one of Golf Magazine’s ‘Top 10 You Can Play.’ And the gold has kept coming ever since: in 2024, it was named one of the top 50 public courses in the country by the Golf Range Association of America.

It was a challenging and somewhat disappointing week for Graeme at the immaculate JCB Golf and Country Club, set against the stunning backdrop of JCB’s UK headquarters in Rocester.

While the tournament presented its challenges, G-Mac showed resilience and determination throughout. After a tough start with a couple of early bogeys on Day 1, he battled back to finish the round at +1. Despite a +3 on Day 2, Graeme stayed focused and delivered his best performance on Sunday, carding a solid 1-under round to finish the week at +3 and in a tie for 47th place.

The highlight of the week was undoubtedly the incredible support from the UK crowd. Their energy and enthusiasm created a fantastic atmosphere and made it a truly special event, despite the testing conditions on the course.

THE COURSE

Some venues are made to host world-class golf. And the JCB Golf and Country Club is certainly one of them. Designed by renowned architect Robin Hiseman and driven by Lord Bamford, chairman of the JCB construction empire, this is a course that’s championship by design: practically every hole is a signature, but if you twisted our arm, we’d probably say the island green is our favorite.

It’s a perfect LIV Golf venue too, with ample room for concerts, DJ booths and our famous Fan Village, all in the grounds of an ancient stately home. Honestly, it couldn’t be better if we’d built it ourselves.

Graeme finished in a tie for 35th at Maridoe Golf Club in Dallas, showing some solid golf along the way. He continued his good form on the opening day with an excellent two-under 70, leaving him just three shots off the lead. On Saturday, after a couple of early bogeys, he showed real determination to bounce back with birdies at the 6th and 7th, and added another at the 10th to get back to level for much of the round. Despite a few late dropped shots, he battled to a two-over finish for the day. Sunday’s hot Dallas conditions proved testing for the Port Rush man, with Graeme ultimately closing with a +6 round to finish +6 overall.

Team Score: SMASH GC finished in 13th position with a score of +42 (+15, +7, +20)

THE COURSE

When you think of Texas, you automatically think big, right? The food, the parties, the vast plains and endless fields… everything is on a different scale here. And at Maridoe Golf Club on the outskirts of Dallas, you’ll find golf in XXL.

Built over 200 acres of prairie land, the course tops out at over 7,800 yards. Billionaire owner Albert Huddleston is not afraid to challenge golfing tradition (he’s even built a croquet court on the property) so he’s a perfect fit for us.

The Maridoe hosted LIV Golf in 2024 and this time we’re coming right in the peak of the season. This sun-drenched Texan showdown could play a crucial role in determining the destiny of the championships, so let’s look at what the players can expect.

Robert Trent Jones shaped how the world plays golf. And that’s not an exaggeration.

The great man designed or remodelled over 400 courses during his career, from Rio to Fukushima. You’ll find his footprints in the bunkers of Valderrama, the slopes of Medinah and the fearsome watery graves of Celtic Manor.

But there’s one course RTJ placed above all others. And that’s the one that bears his name in Virginia. Robert Trent Jones Golf Club was, he said, “my masterpiece.” And this year, it gets the champions.

Graeme capped off the week at the Jack Nicklaus Golf Club in South Korea with back-to-back top-20 finishes, placing T20, while his team, Smash GC, secured a strong second-place finish.

It was a mixed opening day for G-Mac scoring +1. He was one shot down on the opening nine with a bogey on the par 4, 4th (his 8th) before getting back to par on the 8th (his 11th) with some good fortune. His tee shot hit the stand behind the green before rebounding onto the putting surface, he then delighted the crowd by making birdie. After a brace of bogeys on 10 & 11 (his 13th & 14th) he pulled one back on the 15th (his 17th).

Day two was when team Smash GC made their move topping the table and going into the final round. Day two was also Graeme’s best round of the week with a a score of -3 which included three birdies with no dropped shots.

On Sunday, Graeme put in a solid round of -2, 70 which again included three birdies but this time with one dropped shot. Crushers GC were on fire and pushed Smash into second place in the Team standing, ending an exciting week in South Korea.

Result: T20 with rounds of -1 -3 -2, Total -4

Team Smash GC claimed their best result of the year so far, finishing in 2nd place with scores of -10, -11, and -5 for a total of -26.

THE COURSE

When you’re about to make history, you need a proper stage, right? Well we couldn’t have picked a more fitting venue for our Korea debut than Jack Nicklaus’ majestic course in Incheon.

Nicklaus, the 18-time major champ, has created a masterpiece in the middle of one of Korea’s busiest urban centers, with cliffs, sneaky dips and water hazards that shimmer in the shadows of the skyscrapers. Now it lies in wait for Bryson, DeChambeau, Jon Rahm and Kevin Na’s local heroes IronHeads GC.

Apr 25th – 27th, 2025

Graeme played some solid golf to coming away from Mexico in the top 20 with a T17 finish.

After Day 1, Graeme McDowell carded a two-under-par round, driven by an impressive performance off the tee—hitting 12 of 14 fairways to lead the field in driving accuracy. The 2010 U.S. Open champion carried that momentum into Day 2, starting hot with three birdies in his first five holes. However, back-to-back bogeys on the 5th and 6th (his 8th and 9th holes of the day) slowed his progress, and he finished the round at one-under. Day 3 was a tale of two halves: after dropping three shots over his first 11 holes, the Portrush native dug deep, closing with three birdies to post an even-par round on Sunday.

Result: T17 with rounds of -2, -1, E, Total -3

Team Smash GC finished in 7th place with a score of -9, -3, +6 for a Total of -6

THE COURSE

This is Mexico’s answer to The Greenbrier. A club that dates back over 100 years and has been conquered by some of the greats of our game: Byman, Crenshaw, and a galaxy of LIV Golf stars.

When you come to Club de Golf Chapultepec, history waits around every dogleg. Now let’s take a trip back into the course’s amazing past – and see what miracles could happen when LIV Golf visits in April 25-27.

Apr 04th – 06th, 2025

It was a challenging week for Graeme at the tough Trump National Doral. He got off to a rough start on the opening day, recording a double bogey, and was unable to recover, finishing with a seven-over par 79. Day 2 was G-Mac’s best, despite another double bogey to start. Graeme rebounded with a strong mid-round performance, ultimately posting a one-over par 73. Unfortunately, it wasn’t his week on a course that didn’t suit his game, and on Sunday, he shot a six-over par 78, ending the tournament in a tie for 44th with a total score of +30. Onwards!

Result: T44 with rounds of +7, +1, +6, Total +14

Team Smash GC finished in T9 place with a score of +12, +14, +3 for a Total of +30

THE COURSE

“A big boy course” is how Brooks Koepka describes Trump National Doral Miami’s famed Blue Monster. Rarely have truer words been spoken.

The Blue Monster has been taming greatness for the last 60 years. Spanning over 7,500 yards, this awesome course is feared and revered for its flowing fairways and the nightmarish water hazard that guards the 18th green.

This is a place that forces top players to bring their A-game, and it’s already witnessed arguably the greatest shot in LIV Golf history. In 2023, Bryson DeChambeau inspired Crushers GC to victory with a ‘Birdie over the Birdie shack’, somehow chipping the music terrace and scrambling a birdie after his drive ended up on the wrong green.

Now we’re coming back right on the eve of Majors season, so everyone’s going to be dialed in. Here’s what to expect.

Course Stats: 7760 Yards, Par 72.
