Talor Gooch, 4Aces GC top LIV Golf individual, team tables at halfway mark

Seven events into the LIV Golf League’s first official 14-tournament season and the individual and team championship competitions are heating up, while those at the bottom of the table face possible relegation.

Talor Gooch of RangeGoats GC leads the individual standings with 96 points, thanks to impressive back-to-back wins in Adelaide and Singapore. Stinger GC’s Branden Grace and Smash GC captain and 2023 PGA Championship winner Brooks Koepka trail closely behind with 86 and 85 points, respectively.

4Aces GC, captained by Dustin Johnson, lead the team competition with 124 points, followed by Stinger GC (108) and Torque GC (97). Torque, captained by Joaquin Niemann, took home the team trophy at LIV Golf DC and became this season’s first two-time team champions.

“The incredible performances this season in Mexico, Australia, Singapore and throughout the US have matched the fan energy and global excitement for the league’s launch,” said Greg Norman, CEO and commissioner of LIV Golf.

“As we hit the season’s homestretch, the pursuit for championships will continue to showcase the world-class competition on display among many of the best players on the planet, and I’m eager for our fans to enjoy the high-stakes race set to unfold.”

At the conclusion of the 13th and final regular tournament, the standings determine the seeding for the season-ending team championship. The top four teams receive a first-round bye in the multiple-day event that determines the overall winner.
