At the celebration held in Miami before the final teams event, Talor Gooch was bestowed the title of Individual Champion 2023. Leading the points table, Gooch has secured his spot for the 2024 LIV season and the title. The CEO of LIV Golf presented Gooch with a ring made by Ben Baller and went down on his knees.
As Gooch was given the ring, his team members hollered and cheered for their guy and enjoyed the thrilling moment. Later, Talor shared what was going through his mind amidst the chaos. On being asked if he was aware something as incredible as this would occur, he said, “That was a first and I had no idea about it until last night… it’s so, so cool.”
The RangeGoats FC’s champion also commented on Norman kneeling while presenting him the ring, saying that he was “cracking up.” Furthermore, highlighting the significance of the ring, he said, “Especially given the context with it being made by Ben Baller who is famous for his jewelry, he’s famous for the culture of hip-hop and now he’s in golf. Man, it’s just the full circle.” Last year, Dustin Johnson was also awarded as the individual champion but without a ring or a kneeled-down Greg Norman.
