LIV Golf has made Joaquín Niemann rich, but can it make him a star?
Joaquín Niemann has won more LIV Golf events than Bryson DeChambeau, Jon Rahm, Sergio García or Dustin Johnson. He won five of the previous 20 LIV events he played in, in fact, including three of the seven on the 2025 calendar heading into this weekend's tournament at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Gainesville, Virginia. That means he has won as many events this year as Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy, the world's top-ranked golfers, who compete on the rival PGA Tour.
