Joaquin Niemann is making waves on the DP World Tour and recently secured his first European Tour win at the 2023 ISPS Handa Australian Open. The 25-year-old youngster defeated Japanese golfer Rikuya Hoshino in an intense playoff.
Niemann has been exceptional this season and currently ranks 4th on the DP World Tour. The Chilean is a talented golfer and his new improved gear has helped him massively to produce quality results.
Joaquin Niemann made essential changes to his bag and switched up his irons and wedges while also going for an improved putter. However, his driver remains the same with just a few upgrades.

Joaquin Niemann secured his maiden DP World Tour victory at the 2023 ISPS HANDA Australian Open
Although Joaquin Niemann currently plays on the Saud-backed LIV Golf Tour, he made a return on the DP World Tour and secured his first title. Niemann was embroiled in an intense playoff battle with Rikuya Hoshino but bettered him by scoring an eagle subsequently after his birdie.
The 2-time PGA Tour winner has received an exemption to next year's Open despite playing predominantly on the LIV Golf Tour. Although he later confessed his putting was not up to the mark, Joaquin Niemann still managed to put his best foot forward and won the tournament through deliberate practice.
"It was nice to make that last putt," he said, via BBC.
Niemann added:
"I always practice those three, four, five-feet ones and know that one of those will be to win a tournament. It's amazing."
Additionally, the Chilean golfer also had a decent LIV Golf Tour season where he captained the Torque GC Team while being just 25 years old. He will be seen in action next at Mayakoba on the 2nd of February 2024 for the first tournament of LIV Golf's third season.
