Joaquin Niemann Just Made LIV Golf History – No One Saw This Coming!

Joaquin Niemann

Joaquin Niemann is officially the man to beat in LIV Golf.

The 25-year-old Chilean superstar delivered yet another electrifying performance at LIV Golf Virginia, shooting a dazzling 8-under 63 to claim his sixth LIV Golf title—the most by any individual on the tour to date. As the leaderboard got increasingly crowded on Championship Sunday, Niemann stayed cool under pressure and walked away victorious, cementing his reputation as the Sunday closer no one wants chasing them.

Niemann: Clutch, Composed, and Historic

In a field loaded with legends like Phil Mickelson, Bryson DeChambeau, Bubba Watson, and Graeme McDowell, it was Niemann’s sharp play, calm demeanor, and deadly putting that separated him from the pack. His Sunday 63 wasn’t just good—it was unstoppable.

When Niemann gets into contention, he rarely misses. With this latest win, he now holds the record for the most LIV Golf victories in the tour’s short but star-studded history.

“Joaquin just knows how to close,” said a fellow competitor. “When he’s hot, there’s no catching him.”

Crushers GC Crushes It—Again

While Niemann reigned supreme individually, it was Crushers GC who took home the team trophy for the second straight event, following up their win at LIV Golf Korea.

Led by captain Bryson DeChambeau, with solid rounds from Paul Casey, Anirban Lahiri, and Charles Howell III, the Crushers posted a -36 team score, edging out 4Aces GC (-34) and Smash GC (-31).

This win marks Crushers GC’s eighth team victory, making them the most dominant squad on the team leaderboard.

Sunday Fireworks: Records and Rallies

While Niemann stole the spotlight, several players delivered jaw-dropping rounds:

  • Ben Campbell (RangeGoats GC) made 7 consecutive birdies, setting a LIV record and finishing with a sizzling 62.
  • Lee Westwood matched that score, tying his career-low round on LIV Golf.
  • Thomas Pieters (4Aces GC) turned in a stellar 63 to stay in the hunt.
  • Jinichiro Kozuma and Brendan Steele also went low, both carding 7-under 64s.

Heartbreak for Lahiri—Again

Anirban Lahiri led after 36 holes but couldn’t hold on, shooting a 3-under 68 to finish tied for 2nd—his fifth runner-up finish in LIV Golf. Though he’s come close numerous times, the elusive win continues to slip through his fingers.
