Lee Tae-hoon of Canada finished tied for fifth at LIV Golf Indianapolis, the season finale of the LIV Golf League, which carried a purse of $10.1 million.

Playing the final round Monday at The Club at Chatham Hills (par 70) in Westfield, Indiana, Lee carded a bogey-free 7-under 63 to finish at 15-under 265, sharing fifth place with Laurie Canter of England and Scott Vincent of Zimbabwe.

The title went to 20-year-old American Michael La Rosa, who entered the final round with a one-stroke lead. La Rosa made five birdies without a bogey to post 17-under 263, edging runner-up Jon Rahm of Spain by one stroke.

Lee had held a one-stroke lead after the second round but stumbled to a 3-over in the third round Sunday, dropping to a tie for 23rd. He rebounded with a flawless final round — seven birdies, no bogeys — to share the day's best score with Rahm.

Lee earned his LIV Golf spot as a wildcard after winning the LIV Golf promotion event ahead of the 2026 season. He had previously finished runner-up at LIV Golf Singapore in March, missing a short par putt in a playoff and handing the trophy to Bryson DeChambeau of the United States.

Song Young-han, who began the final round tied for sixth, traded three birdies and three bogeys for an even-par round, finishing at 11-under 269 to share 12th place.

Korean Golf Club captain An Byeong-hun carded a 4-under final round to finish at 10-under 270, tied for 17th. Moon Do-yeob tied for 39th at 4-under, while Kim Min-gyu tied for 45th at 2-under.
