"Yeah it was going a little fast, but it was a good line," Johnson said, describing the speed of his eagle putt. "I felt like I played really well all week, I felt like I got some unlucky breaks here the first time around. It owed me one, and I got it."

With the victory, Johnson takes home a purse of $4M . His LIV Golf team, the 4 Aces, including Johnson, Talor Gooch, Pat Perez, and Patrick Reed, took home the team title earning each player $750K.

The inaugural LIV Golf season continues Sept. 16-18 in Chicago.
