Bryson DeChambeau’s Crushers GC brought the curtain down on the 2023 LIV Golf League by lifting the team trophy in Miami.
The Crushers beat 11 teams over the 2023 season to scoop $14m (£11.5m) in prize money at Trump National Doral.
Anirban Lahiri, Charles Howell III and Paul Casey supported captain DeChambeau in their successful campaign.
“I can’t be happier with this team of mine,” DeChambeau said.
“Any time you get a win with a team, I’d say honestly that’s more important than individual stuff. Look, majors are great but there’s a team behind you there. I’ve got a team, my own team.”
The top four seeds – 4Aces GC, Crushers GC, Torque GC and RangeGoats GC – came through Saturday’s matchplay semi-finals to reach Sunday’s finale in which all four squads competed in a strokeplay event, with all four players’ scores counting.
India’s Lahiri put in a spectacular bogey-free round, signing for a seven-under-par 65, while DeChambeau carded a 67, which featured five bogeys on the back nine. Howell contributed a level-par 72, while England’s Casey shot a 73 for a combined total of 11 under.
That was enough to put them two shots clear of Range Goats GC in second, with Torque GC finishing third and defending champions 4 Aces GC fourth.
Lahiri did not win an individual title in 2023, though he went close with two runner-up finishes, but he was the team’s top performer with the highlight coming on the eighth when he rolled in for an eagle.
“I had a couple of Sundays where I let myself down,” Lahiri said. “But I wasn’t going to let the team down today.”
