Bryson DeChambeau of Crushers GC won the Aramco LIV Golf Singapore individual title on March 15, 2026, at Sentosa Golf Club in Singapore, defeating Richard T. Lee in a sudden-death playoff. The victory marked DeChambeau's fourth individual title on the LIV Golf circuit.[1][2]

During the third round on the par-4 fifth hole, DeChambeau attempted a shot from the rough but tripped and fell into a greenside bunker while large insects swarmed the area. His ball landed in a distant fairway bunker. He salvaged bogey on the hole and shot 72 for the round.[1][3]

DeChambeau posted a final-round 66 to match Lee at 11-under, forcing the playoff on the par-5 18th. On the first extra hole, Lee, a wild-card entrant unaffiliated with a LIV Golf team, missed a two-foot par putt that lipped out left after circling the cup.[1][2]

Lee said: "It was a short putt and I wanted to just hit it hard, and I hit it a little too hard. I think the adrenaline was pumping a little bit."[2]

DeChambeau's win was his first of the 2025 LIV Golf season and his first in a 72-hole stroke-play event since the 2024 U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2, where he defeated Rory McIlroy by one stroke.[4][5] His prior LIV individual victories include the 2023 Greenbrier event and others cited in official records.[1][6]

DeChambeau referenced John Daly's missed two-foot par putt in the 2005 WGC-American Express Championship playoff loss to Tiger Woods, saying: "To actually see that happen in front of you, for you to be the positive receiving side of it, it’s just a weird feeling."[2][7]

DeChambeau entered the final round second in the LIV Golf individual standings behind Jon Rahm of Legion XIII.[1]
