Joaquin Niemann sets into motion for the PGA Championship after Korea disappointment

May did not start well for Joaquin Niemann. After grabbing his third victory of the season at the LIV Golf Mexico, he failed to even finish in the top 10 at LIV Golf Korea. Now, after two weeks, he is in full motion to grab his first Major win.

The PGA Championship week has already begun. And like all other players, Niemann is in full swing with his practice. A few hours ago, his coach, Edo Miquel, took to his official Instagram account and shared a video of Niemann practicing his swing for the second Major of the 2025 season. Niemann shared it on his official Instagram account as a story.

Last year, at the PGA Championship, he finished a disappointing T39. He opened with a 2-over-par 73 in the first round, facing challenges on the back nine. The second round saw a strong response, as Niemann carded a 3-under 68, highlighted by a steady performance on both sides of the course.

In the third round, he maintained his form, finishing with a 2-under 69 to stay in contention heading into the final day. Niemann closed out the championship with a 4-under 67 in the final round, delivering a clean front nine to complete the tournament on a high note.

Across all four rounds, Niemann improved his score each day, finishing under par in the last three rounds. However, it could not compensate for his bad round on the first day.
