THE FINAL GROUP
One of the key elements of LIV Golf is the Shotgun Start, in which all players tee off at the same time. There is one exception, however. For the final round, the top three players on the leaderboard start 11 minutes after the rest of the field, teeing off on hole No. 1 in the Final Group.
Most appearances:
7 – Dustin Johnson
6 – Talor Gooch, Brooks Koepka
4 – Bryson DeChambeau, Sergio Garcia, Cameron Smith, Charl Schwartzel, Peter Uihlein
42 different players have teed off in the Final Group; 39 of those players are in this week's field at Greenbrier.
Of the first 31 regular-season tournaments, the eventual winner has played in the Final Group 26 times.
2 of the 5 winners not in the Final Group teed off in the earlier group off hole No. 1, while 2 others won on the 18th hole via playoff.
The only winner who did not finish or win on the 18th hole is Bryson DeChambeau at 2023 LIV Golf Chicago. He started on the 4th hole, ended on the 3rd hole and rallied from 7 strokes down to win. That ties Sergio Garcia at 2024 LIV Golf Andalucía for the biggest final-round rally by any LIV Golf winner.
