The Chilean confessed to being focused on his PGA Tour present, making it clear that the Saudi Super League is a more attractive event for players with more years on the tour. Today, he is playing the first round of the US Open.
Joaquín Niemann is in the first round of the US Open and the questions for him (and for most Brookline players) continue to revolve around LIV Golf. The Saudi super league is the hot topic of the week and everyone wants to know who will be the next rebel to quit the North American tour and jump on the petrodollar bandwagon. The Chilean has already admitted he won’t be one of them.
As Eduardo Miquel, Niemann’s coach, confirmed to Deportivo, the man from Talagan does not plan to join the project financed by the Saudi Public Fund. It was himself who admitted it to the American magazine “Golf” .
“Nothing to say about me. I want to do my best to beat all these guys (pointing to the training area). They’re still there and as long as they’re there I’m not going anywhere. No possibility “, he commented in the middle of the day before the first round of the US Open, the third major of the season.
Although later he gave a phrase that illustrates very well the true purpose of LIV Golf, “If I was 40? it might be different “, he commented. And it is that the league is much more attractive (and less risky) for players who have already spent their great glories on the circuit.
Niemann, despite being one of the best in the world, is a golfer who is still living his early years on the tour at the highest level, so being suspended from the PGA for playing eight tournaments a year doesn’t make much sense. .
