Bryson DeChambeau fired a 6-under 66 to claim the LIV Golf Korea 2025 and posted a two-shot win over Charles Howell III. He finished at 19-under after three rounds to win his third title on the Saudi circuit and his first in nearly twenty months.

On Sunday, May 4, DeChambeau entered the final round of the LIV Golf Korea at Jack Nicklaus Golf Club in Incheon with a four-shot lead. He had a slow start to the round, sitting at even par after nine holes. On the other hand, Howell charged back, swiftly moving to four-under after the front nine.

Howell picked up five straight birdies from Holes 11 to 15 but bogeyed the 16th. Bryson DeChambeau recovered from early hiccups and carded six birdies on the back nine. The two-time US Open winner came close to winning twice in the past month but finally crossed the finish line this time.
