"Brawo Adrian Meronk!"; "Guys!! you are nowhere" – Fans react to Polish star winning the LIV Golf Riyadh 2025

On Saturday, February 8, Adrian Meronk posted a 1-under 71 to claim the LIV Golf Riyadh 2025 title. Following the third round, he finished at 17-under, securing a two-shot win over Jon Rahm and Sebastian Munoz.

Meronk entered the final round of LIV Golf Riyadh 2025 with a two-stroke lead after 36 holes. However, he posted his worst score of the tournament in the final round, making three birdies and two bogeys to shoot 71. Although Rahm played much better, his 5-under 67 wasn’t enough to challenge the Polish star.

LIV Golf Riyadh marks Adrian Meronk’s first win on the Saudi-backed circuit. Additionally, it is his first victory since October 2023.

Fans online showered praise on Meronk for winning LIV Golf Riyadh. However, several criticized the event's format and referred to it as exhibition golf.

Here's a look at some reactions:

"Brawo Adrian !!!!," one fan wrote.

"Guys !! You are nowhere .. this circus golf is boring," another fan posted.

"LIV lost me when Stingers brought back Grace after “relegation” and after he failed to requalify. Makes Rahm’s voiceover about maintaining excellence a joke. It is Shell’s Wide World Of Golf exhibitions - just for comically large purses," another fan commented.

"Playing a limited field and over three rounds means nothing," this user opined.

'I'm so proud of him. Prince Meronk 🇵🇱❤️," one fan wrote.

"Saw a video of Meronk working at TPI on some swing changes in the off season. Looks like it paid off," this fan remarked.
