Murray beat Belgium's David Goffin 6-3 7-5 6-3, allowing the British team to walk away from the tournament in Ghent with a victorious 3-1 lead.
The final match of the best-of-five series will therefore not need to be played.
A series of triumphs including Murray and brother Jamie's winning doubles match against Goffin and Steve Darcis on Saturday, and his prior singles win on Friday meant Murray entered today's match in the lead.
The annual knock-out tournament, run by International Tennis Federation, is considered to be the most important international event in men's tennis.
The Scottish champion was cheered along by wife Kim Sears and cousin Josh Murray.
