Ascends to T2 in Mexico City Herbert carded a 10-under 61 in the final round at LIV Golf Mexcio City to finish tied with Bryson DeChambeau for second.
Impact Herbert was three-under through the first two rounds of the tournament, but the 29-year-old Australian was outstanding on Championship Sunday. He went four-under through the back nine before going five-under from holes 10 through 13 and finished things off with a birdie on the par-5 16th. It was Herbert's best outing at a LIV Golf tournament this season and his third top-5 finish, and his efforts kept Ripper GC in contention for the team trophy. He'll look to carry his momentum into next weekend at LIV Golf Korea.

Plummets to T14 in Singapore Herbert carded a three-over 74 in the final round at LIV Golf Singapore to finish tied for 14th.
Impact Herbert surged into contention in Singapore with a bogey-free, five-under 66 second round to enter Sunday three strokes back of Dustin Johnson and Joaquin Niemann for the clubhouse lead. Herbert stayed near the top of the leaderboard after going one-under through the front nine, but his final round quickly fell apart when he carded five bogeys from holes 11 to 17 before ending with a birdie on the par-4 18th. It was a disappointing finish for Herbert, but the Australian has finished in the top-15 in three of four LIV Golf tournaments this season and sits 10th in the individual standings with 38.40 points. Next up is LIV Golf Miami, and Herbert will be looking for redemption at Trump National Doral after finishing T51 in 2024.

Fourth at LIV Golf Hong Kong Herbert carded a six-under 64 in the final round at LIV Golf Hong to finish fourth with a cumulative score of 13-under.
Impact Herbert entered the final day four shots back of the clubhouse lead, but the Australian surged into late contention with five birdies over the course of six holes. He cooled off with a bogey on the par-4 18th hole, but he rebounded with a birdie on the par-4 first to finish fourth for the second time in three LIV Golf tournaments. Herbert's putting game helped propel him to his strong finish, as he co-led the field in putts per hole (1.48) with Dean Burmester while finishing sixth in both driving distance (320.8 yards) and birdies made (16). Herbert is seventh in the LIV Golf individual season standings with 35 points heading into Singapore, where he finished T27 in 2024.

Wild final round at LIV Golf Riyadh Herbert closed with a two-under 70 at LIV Golf Riyadh to finish tied with Dean Burmester for fourth at 14-under.
Impact Herbert joined Sebastian Munoz and Adrian Meronk in the leader's group in the final round Saturday after carding a 68-64 in the first two days of the tournament. A double bogey on the par-5 10th hole appeared to knock Herbert out of contention, but he followed that up with an eagle on the par-5 13th and three consecutive birdies from holes 15 to 17. Attempting to play aggressive on the 18th hole, Herbert's tee shot found the water, and he had to settle for a bogey and a share of fourth. Riyadh was Herbert's best outing in the LIV Golf league since joining in 2024, and he'll look to carry that momentum into Adelaide starting Friday.

Cannot surge into Lock Zone Herbert carded a two-under 68 in the final round at LIV Golf Chicago to finish the tournament five-under and a five-way tie for sixth.
Impact Herbert entered Chicago 12.75 points behind HyFlyers' Brendan Steele for 24th in the LIV Golf individual season standings, which represents the final slot in the Lock Zone and a guaranteed spot in next year's league. Herbert made a late surge for that coveted spot on Championship Sunday, as he made three consecutive birdies from holes 16 to 18 in the final round with two holes to go. Had he finished even-par over the last two holes, he would've accrued enough points to finish ahead of Steele in the individual standings, but Herbert bogeyed the par-4 first hole and made par on the second hole, which knocked him out of the Lock Zone. Herbert will represent Ripper GC alongside Marc Leishman, Matt Jones and captain Cameron Smith at the LIV Golf Team Championship in Dallas next weekend, with the all-Australian foursome receiving a first-round bye as the third seed.

He entered Championship Sunday two strokes off the lead behind Legion XIII captain Jon Rahm. Herbert started the final round strong with a three-under score over the first five holes, but he finished even over the final 13 holes. He finished LIV Golf Greenbrier 10th in GIR (83.33 percent) and 12th in scrambling (77.78 percent). Herbert sits 28th in the individual season standings with 35.35 points, which is 12.75 points behind HyFlyers GC's Brendan Steele for the final spot in the Lock Zone.

Herbert ranked near the bottom of the field in driving distance and GIR, but he did finish ninth in scrambling (66.67 percent) and 15th in putts per hole (1.56). It was his first points accrued since his T6 finish in Houston, and the Australian sits 35th in the LIV Golf individual season standings with 21.85 points.

Expected to join Ripper GC Herbert is expected to be announced as a 2024 LIV Golf signing after he was seen wearing Ripper GC gear with captain Cameron Smith, Fox Sports reports.
Impact With just days before the 2024 LIV Golf season begins at Mayakoba on Friday, there are still a number of moves that have yet to be officially announced by LIV. One of which was who was going to fill the final spot on 2021 Open Championship winner Cameron Smith's Ripper GC squad after Jediah Morgan was relegated following the 2023 season. It looks as is Smith is going to bring in another Aussie to go along with Marc Leishman and Matt Jones to complete the 2024 roster. Herbert has three DP World Tour wins to his credit along with a PGA Tour title at the Bermuda Championship in 2021. He has slipped to 82nd in the OWGR and has not played since a seventh place finish at the Australian Open in December.
