Anirban Lahiri signed off with a two-under 69 to finish tied-27th at the LIV Golf event in Indianapolis, ending the regular season 25th in the individual standings of the Liv Golf league.

Lahiri shot 67-67-69 for a 10-under total as Sebastian Munoz beat Jon Rahm in a play-off after both tied at 22-under.

However, Rahm finished atop the standings. It earned him a second straight season-long title.

At 25th place, Lahiri was one place outside the ‘Lock Zone’ which ensured a spot for 2026. He is now in the ‘Open Zone’ under which his team, Crushers, can trade him or release him. Lahiri has been an important member of Crushers, which is led by Bryson DeChambeau, who was third overall.
