LIV Golf’s final regular-season match in the Kingdom could not be decided with only 54 holes.
After finishing Sunday’s final round tied at 12 over, Smash GC teammates Brooks Koepka and Peter Uihlein fought it out in a playoff for $4 million at Royal Greens Golf and Country Club. Each player birdied the first two playoff holes until there was a winner. Koepka won the deal the third round after Uihlein’s shot from the greenside buner hit the water.
Sergio Garcia and Joaquin Niemann finished T-3 at 11 Under, with Matthew Wolff and Dustin Johnson T-5 at 10 Under.

The series will be back in the USA for the LIV golf team championship at Trump National Doral on Oct. 28-30. Teams will compete for $50 millions.
