On the 16th, at the final 3rd round of the tournament held at Sentosa Golf Club Serapong Course in Singapore (Par 71, 7,406 yards), he scored 6 under par to win (17 under par, 196 strokes). This is his second victory this year, following the Adelaide tournament in Australia a month ago, with a personal prize of $4 million. It marks his fourth win in LIV Golf overall.

After receiving $4 million for the individual victory and $125,000 for the team 3rd place prize at the Australian tournament, totaling $4,125,000, Niemann also earned $312,500 for a tie for 12th place in the individual event at last week's Hong Kong tournament. In the past month alone, he has earned $8,437,500 (approximately 12.3 billion KRW). This means he has been making about 400 million KRW per day over the last month.

Brooks Koepka finished 2nd (12 under par, 201 strokes), Dustin Johnson (both from the USA) and Jon Rahm (Spain) tied for 5th (9 under par, 204 strokes), and Bryson DeChambeau (USA) tied for 10th (7 under par, 206 strokes). Korean-American player Kevin Na (USA) tied for 14th (5 under par, 208 strokes), and Danny Lee (New Zealand) tied for 32nd (even par, 213 strokes). Jang Yu-bin finished tied for 41st (3 over par, 216 strokes). The next LIV Golf event is scheduled for the first week of April in Miami, Florida, USA.
