Michael Brennan wins Wyndham Championship, completes three-event American sweep; Joaquin Niemann records ninth LIV Golf title

Michael Brennan's final-round 64 at the Wyndham Championship, good for a three-shot win, completed a clean sweep of the PGA Tour's final three regular-season events by Americans aged 24 or younger. Joaquin Niemann claimed his ninth LIV Golf title at Trump Bedminster, three shots clear of Harold Varner III, pushing his on-course earnings on the breakaway circuit past $80 million.

Brennan in Greensboro

Brennan, 24, started Sunday tied for the lead in the final pairing. Three opening pars gave way to five consecutive birdies beginning on the par-4 fourth hole. From there, 54-hole co-leader Beau Hossler searched for his game without finding it. Brennan ranked ninth in average driving distance and third in strokes gained off the tee for the week. He gained nearly nine shots on the field with the putter. The combination produced his second Tour win.

The victory earns Brennan a Masters invitation. His mother delivered the news on the 18th green. He now holds as many PGA Tour wins as Ludvig Aberg.

The streak and the Presidents Cup picture

The final three regular-season events went to 21-year-old Jackson Koivun at the 3M Open, 24-year-old Michael Thorbjornsen at the Rocket Classic, and Brennan at the Wyndham. All three are weak-field events at the back end of a calendar wedged between major championships. Presidents Cup captain Brandt Snedeker said last week he would not select young players simply to select young players. A strong FedEx Cup Playoffs run from any of the three would test that position against the selection math.

Block's exit at the Staysure PGA Seniors Championship

Michael Block, the PGA club professional who finished T-15 at the 2023 PGA Championship and has since qualified for three consecutive editions of that event, competed at the Staysure PGA Seniors Championship in Scotland on a sponsor's exemption. He arrived late to his final-round tee time and absorbed a two-stroke penalty.

Ryan French, known as Monday Q Info on X, reported Sunday afternoon that Block withdrew after hole 12 without informing his playing partners, with six holes left. Block responded on Instagram, confirmed he was "a couple of seconds late" because he "got caught up taking pictures for volunteers," and called the tardiness "completely my fault." The withdrawal itself received no explanation in that post.

Golf Digest's Evin Priest reached Block by text message. Block confirmed he was disqualified and cited a wrist injury from a shot hit out of a bush on the 10th hole. The Legends Tour followed with its own statement, confirming the disqualification on the grounds that Block left before "completing his round and without completing the necessary process of advising tour officials of any injury or illness." The injury account appeared hours after French's initial report, absent from Block's own Instagram statement.

Niemann at Trump Bedminster

Nine wins in 30 months, none before February 2024. Niemann's ninth LIV Golf title equals the combined total for Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau. He beat DeChambeau by 23 shots at Bedminster. Niemann is 27, holds over $80 million in on-course LIV earnings alongside a reported nine-figure signing fee, and carries a record of two Top 15 finishes across 29 major starts.
