Immediately outside the top 10 were four more LIV Golfers, Marc Leishman, Paul Casey, Charles Howell III and Cameron Tringale, with David Puig, Tom McKibbin and Peter Uihlein all finishing in the top 20.

Abraham Ancer, who won the title in 2023, placed T33, while 2022 winner Harold Varner III finished tied for 50th on seven under.

Despite plenty of strong performances from LIV Golfers, it wasn't a successful week for all those in the field.

The defending champion was Joaquin Niemann, but he missed the cut, along with more big names from the circuit including Cameron Smith and two-time winner Dustin Johnson.

Below is the final LIV Golf leaderboard at the PIF Saudi International.
