Herbert's best result came at LIV Golf Adelaide in February 2026, where he finished 7th at 16-under par. He followed this with a 9th place finish in Riyadh (-17) and continued his solid play with a 13th place showing in Hong Kong (-14).

Current Status

Herbert's 2026 season demonstrates his ability to compete at the professional level, particularly on the LIV Golf circuit. While not yet among the elite ranks of Australian golf, his recent performances suggest potential for growth. His game appears well-suited to the LIV format, with multiple tournaments showing his capability to go low (three events at -12 or better). As he continues to gain experience against top competition, Herbert will look to convert these consistent finishes into higher placements and potential tournament victories.
