For the second time this season, a current LIV Golfer has won a DP World Tour event.

In the opening event of the 2025/26 season, David Puig won the BMW Australian PGA Championship, and now Adrian Meronk has followed in his footsteps with victory at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.

He beat Casey Jarvis and Niklas Norgaard by two shots at the event, handing him his fifth DP World Tour title and securing his future on the circuit.

However, he was far from the only LIV Golfer in the field.

In total, 22 full-time LIV Golf players made their way to Scotland for the tournament, as well as four reserves.

The event, which was played at Carnoustie, Kingsbarns and the Old Course, St Andrews, featured a cut after three rounds.

That ended the challenges of 17 LIV Golfers, including big names such as Cameron Smith, Bubba Watson, Lee Westwood, Ian Poulter and three-time winner of the tournament, Tyrrell Hatton.

That left just nine teeing it up at the Old Course for the final round.

While Meronk dealt with the pressure and blustery conditions to claim victory, another LIV Golfer who can be happy with his week is Thomas Detry.

Detry has yet to win on the DP World Tour, but he came relatively close this week, finishing five shots behind Meronk on 15 under as he placed eighth.

Two players from the circuit were just outside the top 10, with reserve Ollie Schniederjans and Jose Luis Ballester tied for 11th on 13 under.

Victor Perez and Dean Burmester were three shots back of them in a tie for 30th, with Branden Grace and Caleb Surratt finishing tied for 42nd on eight-under-par.

That leaves Puig, who never got close to his second DP World Tour title, eventually finishing in a tie for 51st on seven-under par for the tournament.

Below is the final LIV Golf leaderboard at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship.
