It pays to play well in the LIV Golf League, just ask Joaquin Niemann.
Niemann, 25, won for the first time on the Saudi-backed circuit on Sunday after a marathon four-hole playoff against Sergio Garcia at LIV’s 2024 season opener at Mayakoba’s El Camaleon Golf Course in Mexico. For his efforts, Niemann will take home the top prize of $4 million after his wire-to-wire victory that featured a course record 12-under 59 in the first round on Friday and a two-stroke penalty after the second round.
Garcia earned a $2.25 million consolation prize for his runner-up finish, with Dean Burmester and Jon Rahm each receiving $1.25 million for their T-3 finishes.
