How Joaquin Niemann Could Win $22 Million This Week

Joaquin Niemann, the talented Chilean golfer, is on the cusp of securing a staggering $22 million payday, courtesy of his impressive performance in the 2024 LIV Golf League. With just two rounds remaining in the season, Niemann leads the individual standings by a significant margin of almost 25 points over second-placed Jon Rahm.

As the golfing world converges on LIV Golf Greenbrier this weekend, Niemann is poised to clinch the top prize of $18 million, which would be added to his already substantial earnings. His victory at Greenbrier would not only secure the individual title but also net him an additional $4 million.

Niemann’s remarkable consistency throughout the season has been a key factor in his dominance. He began the year with back-to-back wins at LIV Golf Mayakoba and LIV Golf Jeddah, earning $4 million on each occasion. Although he experienced a rare slump at LIV Golf Las Vegas, finishing T30, Niemann has since bounced back with a string of top-10 finishes.

Should Niemann emerge victorious at Greenbrier and secure the season title, his total earnings for 2024 would exceed $36 million. This figure would be added to his already impressive LIV Golf tally, which includes $4,774,286 from 2022 and $3,553,333 last season, bringing his total to approximately $45 million.

Moreover, Niemann’s reported signing fee of circa $100 million when he joined LIV Golf in August 2022 would bring his total earnings to a staggering $159,783,868 since turning pro in 2018. This figure includes his PGA Tour-sanctioned event earnings of $15,225,082 over 124 events.

Even if Niemann is somehow overtaken by Rahm in the final moments of the season, his career earnings would still be an impressive $130,000,000. As the golfing world watches with bated breath, Niemann’s incredible talent and consistency have positioned him for a truly life-changing payday.
