Dean Burmester Wins First LIV Golf Trophy, Defeats Sergio Garcia in Play-Off

Dean Burmester made history on Sunday by clinching his first LIV Golf trophy, defeating Sergio Garcia in a thrilling play-off at Trump National Doral in Miami. The South African golfer saved par at the second play-off hole to secure the victory, marking his first LIV title after four career wins on the DP World Tour.

After both players made par in the first play-off hole, they returned to the tee at the par-four 18th. Garcia’s second shot found the water hazard, giving Burmester the opportunity to capitalize. With nerves of steel, Burmester reached the green in two shots and confidently sank a three-footer for par to seal the win.

Garcia, who held a share of the lead after the first round and a two-stroke advantage after the second, once again fell short in a play-off. Despite a dramatic 40-foot birdie putt on the 17th green, Garcia’s missed par attempt at the 18th forced the play-off, where Burmester ultimately emerged victorious.

Burmester expressed his joy and satisfaction with the win, highlighting his recent strong performances in golf. The victory at LIV Golf Miami adds to his two wins in South Africa last November and December, solidifying his status as a rising star in the golfing world.
