Joaquin Niemann confirms if he’d ever want to go back to the PGA Tour if LIV folds

Joaquin Niemann would ‘love’ to play on the PGA Tour again

While DeChambeau is currently playing games with the PGA Tour during his negotiations, threatening to do YouTube full-time and saying the tour “isn’t doing great”, Niemann  isn’t engaging in similar tactics.

He said he’s willing to play a season on the DP World Tour like Reed, and after that he’d love to come back. Speaking to Beyond the Clubhouse, he said, “I mean I would love to keep playing golf, of course.

“I have got the DP World Tour. I don’t have status there, but it would be nice to go and play there. And then if one day we can go back to the PGA Tour, I would love to play on the PGA Tour. That is the scenarios that could happen if LIV disappears, which I don’t think it is going to happen.”

It’s a healthy attitude from Niemann, who likely knows he’d have to earn his way back onto the PGA Tour if he did have to leave LIV. But it also sounds like he’s committed to LIV until it collapses. We’ll see if he stays true to that in the coming months.

Joaquin Niemann shares reaction to LIV losing PIF funding

Niemann was asked what his initial reaction was to the news that LIV Golf had lost PIF funding. The 26-year-old said, “It is what it is. I guess we have got to get a new business plan. I think Scott and his team is going to do a great job doing that.

“I feel like people under pressure work better. At least in my case. So I feel like it’s going to be good to have that pressure now that we have got to raise the money, got to find a new plan and find a new method to raise the money.

“I think it’s going to be good for the league. We are finally going to be sustainable if we find this and it’s the right business plan.”

He was then asked what his communication with Scott O’Neil has been like since the news broke, and Niemann replied, “It’s great. Scott and his team try to communicate as much as they can with the captains.

“I think the communication is great. It’s nice to have every player and person here on LIV trying to make this place a better place and this tour a better tour and grow the game and go to places we have never been and different countries.

“I think we are doing a great job. We are going to keep doing a great job. It’s nice to be supported by everybody here on LIV.”

It sounds like, at least from what he’s saying publicly, Niemann isn’t experiencing the panic that is coming across from many of the LIV stars. It seems he’s happy to step away and play on the DP World Tour if needed, so no problems for him!
