The first of back-to-back events in the LIV Golf League calendar concluded in South Korea ahead of next week's trip to Spain for LIV Golf Andalucia.
It will be Joaquin Niemann heading to the Iberian Peninsula with the most confidence after he secured his eighth LIV Golf title at Asiad Country Club.

As usual, there was $20 million on offer in the individual competition at LIV Golf Korea.
Thanks to his victory, Niemann claimed $4 million in prize money for winning the individual title. Meanwhile, Gooch earned $2.25 million, while he likely collected more thanks to his team's finish.
As ever, $10 million is shared among the teams. In addition, there was a $2.3 million bonus pool for the leading player in each of the top-three teams.

In theory, that could be the full $1 million share from the pool, although, as noted by LIV Golf, "captains can allocate to their team players as they wish."
Gooch's OKGC finished second to win $800,000, meaning that, like DeChambeau, he is entitled to at least some of that prize money. Cameron Smith's Ripper GC placed third to earn $500,000.
