Who is the biggest star of LIV Golf in the early 2024 season?

Joaquin Niman

It is not Jon Rahm (Spain), ranked 3rd in the world, 'major hunter' Brooks Koepka, 'Hulk' Bryson DeChambeau, or the 'oldest major champion' Phil Mickelson (all from the United States). It is none other than 'Chile's hope' Joaqu?n Niemann. He won the LIV Golf Jeddah held on the 3rd at the Royal Greens Golf & Country Club (par 70) in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. This is his second victory of the season after the season opener in Mayakoba last month, with a prize money of 4 million dollars (about 5.3 billion KRW).

Niemann has earned over 11 billion KRW in the past month. He has topped the podium twice in three tournaments this season. With two wins, he earned 8 million dollars, plus 125,000 dollars for 3rd place in the Mayakoba team event, and 155,000 dollars for 33rd place in the second event of the season, the Las Vegas individual tournament, totaling 8.28 million dollars (about 11 billion KRW). Thanks to his outstanding performance, he has been invited to major tournaments such as the Masters in April and the PGA Championship in May.

Niemann is a player with both long drives and precision. His record in the 2021/2022 PGA Tour season before moving to LIV Golf proves this. His average driving distance was 309.1 yards, greens in regulation rate was 67.92%, and putts per hole were 1.729. Niemann powered through this tournament using Ping Golf's G430 series. His driver, woods, hybrid, irons, and putter were all Ping Golf products.
