Almost three years ago, Joaquin Niemann joined the Saudi PIF-backed golf league. Following his departure from the PGA Tour, Niemann has shown considerable growth in LIV Golf. And now, his earnings have reflected his success since then.
Days prior, Niemann was making waves after winning the 54-hole LIV Golf tournament at Robert Trent Jones Golf Club. It's worth noting that this is his fourth win of this year, and his sixth victory in the Saudi golf league.
