The face of South American golf, Joaquin Niemann has become a fan favorite on the PGA Tour.
Nearing the top of the leaderboard nearly every week, Niemann has what appears to be a long and successful career ahead of him.
Niemann held the No. 1 World Amateur Golf Ranking for 44 consecutive weeks when he turned professional in 2018. Taking advantage of his first PGA Tour start, Niemann earned special status for the remainder of the 2018 season thanks to a 6th place finish at the Valero Texas Open.
Never looking back, Niemann racked up a win at the 2019 Greenbrier, becoming the first PGA Tour winner from Chile. Niemann has also played on the Presidents Cup International Team, going 0-3-1 in his event debut the same year.
In 2022, Niemann won his second PGA Tour event at the Genesis Invitational. With another solid year, Niemann looks to make better on his Presidents Cup record this fall at Quail Hollow.
