The winners of the Inaugural LIV Golf Showcase awards have been crowned honoring the most compelling performances, pivotal moments, impactful players, and dramatic moments from the 2025 LIV Golf season.  

The 22 awards winners were spread across 13 different players and 12 different League teams. Honors were highlighted by MVP Joaquín Niemann, Breakout Star of the Year David Puig, Clutch Player of the Year Jon Rahm, Shot of the Year Phil Mickelson, and Comeback Player of the Year Bubba Watson.  

Multiple honors highlighted the season’s elite execution, led by Bryson DeChambeau, who captured Drive of the Year, with a 410.8 yard-drive at LIV Golf Mexico City 2025, and Win of the Year at LIV Golf Korea 2025 – performances that anchored Crushers GC’s two-award haul.

Phil Mickelson also earned multiple honors, claiming Shot of the Year alongside the Can I Get a Mulligan (Right Idea, Wrong Result) award. 4Aces GC added two accolades through Patrick Reed’s hole-in-one at LIV Golf Adelaide 2025 (Moment of the Year) and Dustin Johnson’s Escape Artist (Season’s Greatest Save) performance at LIV Golf Singapore 2025.
