Joaquin Niemann is arguably the best player on LIV Golf. Here is everything you need to know about the potential superstar.
He joined LIV from the PGA Tour a few years ago and that particular move has probably paid off more for him than anyone else.
Phil Mickelson recently called Niemann the number one golfer on the planet after achieving multiple victories on the tour.
The Golfing Gazette provides all the key details about the latest household name in professional golf.
What is Joaquin Niemann’s age and where is he from?
Niemann was born in Santiago, Chile, on November 7, 1998.
What is Joaquin Niemann’s net worth?
Niemann earned $15.2 million in his four seasons on the PGA Tour before switching to LIV Golf.
The Chilean reportedly accepted an offer of $100 million to join LIV, and he’s since earned around $45 million for his impressive performances on the tour. Celebrity Net Worth estimates that his net worth is $60 million.
Joaquin Niemann’s LIV Golf career
Niemann has probably been the best player in LIV Golf’s short history. He played in four events in 2022 and finished in the top five three times.
However, 2023 was perhaps slightly underwhelming, with no victories despite six top 10s, but he elevated his game in 2024.
Niemann won in Jeddah and Mayakoba but, unfortunately, just missed out on the Individual Championship title ahead of Jon Rahm.
Victories in LIV’s most popular event (Adelaide) and Singapore early in the 2025 campaign confirmed that he’s a world-class player.
What is Joaquin Niemann’s Masters record?
Niemann’s record at the four major championships is extremely poor for a player of his quality.
His best finish is tied 16th at the 2023 Masters Tournament, so it’s about time he transferred his form from LIV Golf over to the top events.
