2022 LIV Golf in Miami, scores: Louis Oosthuizen puts Stinger GC in the final against Bryson DeChambeau
The LIV Golf end of season championship match play is complete. The top four teams in the first two days at the Trump National Doral moved into the championship on Sunday, where the teams will play stroke play for $34 million in prize money.

One of the other highlights of the day saw Sergio Garcia beat Cameron Smith by a score of 2 and 1. Despite the individual victory, the Fireballs were unable to pull off the overall victory. Punch GC’s Marc Leishman beat Carlos Ortiz with a score of 1 and Matt Jones and Wade Ormsby beat Eugenio Chacarra and Abraham Ancer’s team by a similar score to take out Garcia’s team.
In the final match, Smash GC defeated the Majesticks in all three matches. Brooks Koepka beat Ian Poulter, Peter Uihlein beat Lee Westwood, and Chase Koepka and Jason Kokrak narrowly beat Henrik Stenson and Sam Horsfield.
