Club de Golf Chapultepec is situated at Naucalpan, Mexico, just outside of Mexico City. Established in 1921, it was designed by U.S. Open winners Willie and Alex Smith before it was renovated by Percy Clifford in 1972.

Before LIV's Mexico City event, Club de Golf Chapultepec hosted a series of golf tournaments. The 7345-yard par 71 course has been home to 18 Mexican Opens and four WGC Mexico Championships.

This year, Niemann bagged a 16-under par total amid the unforgiving tree-lined fairways and high altitude conditions. It was the in-form Chilean golfer's third LIV victory of the 2025 season.
