David Puig - Golf News, Rumors, & Updates

Tumbles to T7 at Desert Classic Puig carded a three-over 75 during the final round at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic to finish tied with Ricardo Gouveia and Marcus Armitage for seventh.

Impact Puig made a final-round surge with three consecutive birdies from holes eight to 10 to sit one stroke behind fellow LIV Golfer Patrick Reed at the top of the leaderboard. However, that was as close as Puig got to capturing the tournament trophy, as he proceeded to bogey three of the next five holes before being assessed a two-shot penalty on the par-5 18th for grounding a club in the bunker, resulting in a double bogey. It was a disappointing finish for the Spaniard, who led the field in par-4 scoring and birdies made while finishing in the top-10 in SG: Around the Green and SG: Tee to Green. Still, Puig has opened the 2026 DP World Tour season strongly and sits fourth in the Race to Dubai Rankings with 872.13 points. He's not in the field for next week's Bapco Energies Bahrain Championship, so the next time we'll see Puig is at LIV Golf Riyadh on Feb. 4 in what is the opening tournament of the 2026 LIV Golf season.

Jumps to T3 at Dubai Invitational Puig carded a four-under 68 during the final round of the Dubai Invitational to finish in a four-way tie for third with Shane Lowry, Rory McIlroy and Julien Guerrier.

Impact Puig wasn't in contention for the tournament win like McIlroy or Lowry, but the Spaniard snuck into the top-3 thanks to a strong finish to the final round with three birdies on the back nine. Puig led the field in SG: Off the Tee (1.25) and driving accuracy (69.64 percent), finished fourth in par-5 scoring (4.33) and in the top-10 in SG: Tee to Green and GIR. He will participate in the Hero Dubai Desert Classic on Thursday, which will serve as a tune up to LIV Golf's opening tournament in Riyadh on Feb. 4.

Strong finish to 2025 LIV season Puig carded a five-under 66 in the final round at LIV Golf Indianapolis to finish tied for fourth to end the regular season 10th in the individual standings with 85.48 points.

Impact Puig's best round came Saturday with an eight-under 63, though he mostly played spectator in the final round as he was paired up with Jon Rahm and Joaquin Niemann, who were battling for the LIV Golf Individual Championship. Puig managed to finish in the top-10 of the individual season standings and has improved on his overall play since joining the league in 2022. He has yet to win a LIV Golf tournament, but he did score points in every single event he played this season (including three top-5 finishes) and ranked fourth in both driving distance and eagles made, fifth in putts per hole and top-15 in birdies made and scrambling opportunities. Puig will represent the third-seeded Fireballs GC at the Team Championship at LIV Golf Michigan this weekend alongside Josele Ballester, Abraham Ancer and captain Sergio Garcia.

Tied for 18th at LIV Golf UK Puig fired a two-under 69 in the final round at LIV Golf UK to finish tied with Andy Ogletree and Charles Howell III for 18th.

Impact Puig started out nicely with a three-under 68 opening round. Despite finishing the tournament T6 in birdies made (15), his hard work was outdone by nine bogeys, four of which came in each of the final two rounds. Puig got off to a hot start to the 2025 LIV Golf season with three top-6 finishes in the first four tournaments, but he has failed to finish T13 or better over his last six LIV outings. He sits 11th in the individual season standings with 68.60 points heading into LIV Golf Chicago, where he finished T20 in 2024 and 36th in 2023.
