On August 26th, 2025, we break down Jon Rahm's dramatic LIV Team Championship playoff victory, analyze the final automatic Ryder Cup spots for Team Europe, and celebrate Brooke Henderson's emotional win at the CPKC Women's Open.

• Jon Rahm's Legion XIII outlasted Bryson DeChambeau's Crushers GC in a thrilling two-hole playoff. The victory came after a wild final day that saw both teams finish at twenty under, capped by Tyrrell Hatton's clutch approach shot.
• "DeChambeau delivers!" followed by the final call of Legion XIII having "crossed the Rubicon."
• An emotional Rahm reflected on his victory: "It's been a long year. I'm happy that I finally won a playoff," calling his younger teammates a "beacon of strength."

• Team Europe's six automatic qualifiers for Bethpage are locked in, with Rasmus Højgaard's late-season push bumping a disappointed Shane Lowry out of the final spot. The focus now shifts to Captain Luke Donald's six upcoming picks.
• The consensus is that Lowry is a "lock" to be picked, with Jon Rahm, Viktor Hovland, and Ludvig Åberg also seen as "guaranteed selections."
• The drama centers on Lowry, a team-room favorite, now having to rely on a captain's pick after Højgaard's clutch performance secured his own automatic place on the team.

• Brooke Henderson captured her national championship, winning the CPKC Women's Open by one stroke over Minjee Lee. The victory was her first in over two and a half years, providing an emotional release for the Canadian star.
• Henderson admitted to battling "some dark times" during her winless streak, which made the victory "super special."
• Canadian legend Lorie Kane urged the media to focus on Henderson's talent, saying people should talk about "how good she is, rather than what's wrong."
