Taylor Gooch wins two LIV events back-to-back, to become the hottest golfer in the world, outside of maybe just fellow Callaway staffer Jon Rahm.

TAYLOR GOOCH is on fire.

Because right now he is the hottest golfer on the LIV Golf Tour, after two straight wins on the circuit.

But while that might not be enough to get him into the U.S. Open, after what seems to be a suspicious rule change to keep him out. Gooch is playing some really good golf.

First up was Gooch’s win in Australia where he built a big lead, then had to hang on to win. But this time in Singapore, the tournament went to a playoff, where Gooch defeated Sergio Garcia.

Gooch’s team the Rangegoats took both trophies in Singapore, while in Australia the Rangegoats came up a shot short, losing to the 4Aces. Rangegoats are Harold Varner and Thomas Pieters, both added by Captain Bubba Watson.

Rangegoats beat out the Fireballs by three shots, who were led by Garcia. Gooch is now the only two-time winner on the LIV Golf Tour other than Brooks Koepka.

Laurie Canter made the third Ace in Liv Golf history, with an 185-yard shot on the par-3 17th hole. Canter made the shot with a seven iron.

Weather issues halted played on multiple occasions, but usually not for more than hour.

THE NEXT LIV GOLF TOUR event will be in Tulsa Oklahoma. So for more information on LIV Golf, and the point standings, visit LIVGolf.com
