New Zealand’s Ben Campbell secured the biggest cheque of his career when finishing third in the LIV Golf Singapore event, US$1.5 million now part of his growing returns from professional golf in recent seasons.
Campbell joined LIV Golf permanently at the behest of RangeGoats captain Bubba Watson over the Xmas period and in his first few starts has finished 15th in Riyadh, 23rd in Adelaide and 35th in Hong Kong before his great week at the Sentosa Golf Club.
“Yeah, it was big,” said Campbell when asked where this effort stands. “Obviously, I was very frustrated last week in Hong Kong to not play that great. So worked hard early on this week and made a few little changes, and yeah, it was good. Sort of had the team here and that, so it was nice to see the hard work paying off.
“It was nice to stick in there today. I haven’t probably felt like I had my best out there, but nice to stay patient and hole a couple putts coming in, which was good.”
Campbell finished six shots behind the winner Joaquin Niemann but only one shot out of second-placed Brooks Koepka.
Having earned a total of US$627,000 in his first few events Campbell is fast becoming one of the leading money earners in the 2025 LIV Golf season and will no doubt benefit from the confidence he will gain from contending so well this week.
