What is LIV Golf and Why Is It So Fun?

Under the motto “Golf but louder,” the LIV Golf League is a re-energized, revitalized way to play this sport, bringing it to new audiences and creating new traditions. With 13 teams and 52 players—including Dustin Johnson, Abraham Ancer, and Jon Rahm—LIV Golf offers fans exciting tournaments at destinations like Las Vegas and Mayakoba, the only LIV host destination in Latin America. 

 

LIV Golf League and Mayakoba Golf: Made for Each Other

The spectacular Mayakoba El Camaleon golf course, designed by the legendary Greg Norman, is a natural choice for a thrilling sporting event like LIV Golf Mayakoba. This 18-hole, par-72 course traverses the jungle and the mangroves, and features stunning views of the Caribbean, as well as an iconic natural hazard: a cenote on hole 7 serving as a one-of-a-kind bunker.

Beyond the course, Mayakoba’s four luxury resorts—Andaz Mayakoba, Banyan Tree Mayakoba, Fairmont Mayakoba, and Rosewood Mayakoba—make it an incredible destination for golfers, who get to play an incredible tournament while enjoying a tropical getaway with their families. After an adrenaline-fueled game, relaxing by the beach with their loved ones is definitely a highlight for these high-profile athletes. 

Golf fans are as excited to come to Mayakoba as the golfers are. During the event, guests had direct transportation from their resort to the golf course, making it easy and comfortable. In between tournament happenings, guests also had the chance to relax in their resorts, unwinding by the pool and exploring their wellness offerings.

The Thrill of The Game: Who won LIV Mayakoba?

Throughout the three-day tournament, the course was full of excitement and great sporting moments. A definitive highlight was Jon Rahm’s tournament debut. And if you want to know who won LIV Mayakoba, there are two answers. Rahm and his new team, Legion XIII, were winners in the team category. The individual winner, however, was Joaquin Niemann, and his victory was nothing short of thrilling. Facing off Sergio Garcia for three holes way past sunset on Sunday evening, the players were asked if they wanted to play the fourth and last play-off on Monday, but they decided to keep playing in the dark. Finally, it was Niemann who took home the well-deserved trophy.

 

Elevated Entertainment & Culinary Experiences that complemented LIV Golf Mayakoba

Witnessing moments like this from the Mayakoba Club 18, the hospitality area by the 18th hole, made the experience even more memorable for guests who attended the tournament, who were able to watch some of the best players in the world making history while enjoying fresh drinks. As it always happens with Mayakoba Mexico, the tournament offered plenty of opportunities to enjoy delicious food and drink, including Ibérico ham, Mexican wines, and fresh cocktails, all smoothly delivered just by showing their guest bracelet. Cashless transactions are truly the future of hospitality. 

Throughout the tournament, guests found loads of fun experiences beyond the green, including a putting challenge and a tic-tac-toe game. These games were especially popular with families who came to enjoy the event. There were also countless fun amenities and activations –from drinks to giveaways–, courtesy of the brands who sponsored and supported this tournament.

Mayakoba was effectively transformed into a party on Saturday night when the Chainsmokers took the stage. Energy levels stayed high and the DJ duo kept the audience dancing nonstop through the night, making everyone feel as if they were at a music festival. The show didn’t end too soon, though. After their performance, the DJs headed to Zapote Bar at Rosewood Mayakoba—currently #11 on North America’s 50 Best Bars—where they shared their music with lucky guests for a while.
