First-place individual champion Captain Sergio Garcia of Fireballs GC, poses with the trophy after the final round of LIV Golf Andalucía at Real Club Valderrama on Sunday, in San Roque, Spain.

SOTOGRANDE, Spain — Sergio Garcia claimed his first individual LIV Golf win on Sunday after the Spaniard beat overnight leader Anirban Lahiri in a playoff for the Andalucia title.

García thrilled the home fans with a 5-under 66 to pull level with Lahiri and force the 18th-hole playoff with both players at 5-under overall.

This was the first title for García since he joined the new Saudi-backed LIV circuit in 2022.

Jon Rahm, another home favorite, finished in a tie for 10th in his first event back home since joining LIV Golf.

García’s Fireballs team also won the team title at the tournament in southern Spain after winning a playoff over the Crushers — the first time in LIV Golf that both individual and team titles had been decided in a playoff.
