LIV Golf Indianapolis marks the end of the league's regular season and will decide the individual championship — though the outcome is all but sealed. Joaquin Niemann sits atop the standings with a 12.27-point lead over Jon Rahm and has a 58.7% chance of winning. Rahm, the reigning champion, must finish seventh or better to have any mathematical chance of overtaking Niemann. Regardless of their respective finishes, Niemann and Rahm are guaranteed to finish top two in the final standings.
