Thirteen players across 22 categories emerged winners at the inaugural LIV Golf Showcase awards with Chile’s Joaquin Neimann adjudged Most Valuable Player.
The awards recognised the most compelling performances, pivotal moments, impactful players, and dramatic moments from the 2025 season, LIV Golf said in a statement.
The awardees included Neimann, Breakout Star of the Year David Puig, Clutch Player of the Year Jon Rahm, Shot of the Year Phil Mickelson, and Comeback Player of the Year Bubba Watson.
Among the multiple winners was Bryson DeChambeau, who captured Drive of the Year, with an incredible 410.8-yard blast in Mexico City and Win of the Year in Korea 2025 – performances that anchored Crushers GC’s two-award haul.
Phil Mickelson also earned multiple honours, claiming Shot of the Year alongside the playful Can I Get a Mulligan (Right Idea, Wrong Result) award.
The 4Aces GC added two accolades through Patrick Reed’s hole-in-one at LIV Golf Adelaide 2025 (Moment of the Year) and Dustin Johnson’s Escape Artist (Season’s Greatest Save) performance at LIV Golf Singapore 2025.
