Henrik Stenson has a perfect record since joining LIV Golf.

The Swede shot a 2-under 69 on Sunday to win LIV Golf's Bedminster event by two strokes in his first tournament since joining Greg Norman's Saudi-backed league.

Matthew Wolff and Dustin Johnson finished tied for second, two shots back at 9-under, while Carlos Ortiz finished fourth at 8-under. Patrick Reed rounded out the top five at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster at 7-under.

The 4 Aces GC - made up of Johnson, Reed, Talor Gooch, and Pat Perez - took home the team title on Sunday at 25-under with three of their four players finishing inside the top 10.

Stenson's team - Lee Westwood's Majesticks GC - finished second, eight strokes back. Westwood was the only other Majesticks player that finished inside the top 10.

With the individual win, Stenson took home $4 million in prize money. For coming second on the team leaderboard, the four players won an additional $1.5 million.

Stenson's announcement that he'd joined LIV Golf came at the cost of his captaincy for the 2023 Ryder Cup which had been announced back in March.

LIV Golf's Bedminster event marked the third of Norman's Series so far. The next event is over a month away and is set for Sept. 2-4 in Boston.
