Joaquin Niemann comments on tying Brooks Koepka’s LIV Golf record

Before the start of the 2025 season, Brooks Koepka was the golfer with the most wins on LIV Golf. He won once in 2022 and twice in both 2023 and 2024. With three wins this season, Joaquin Niemann has now tied Koepka for the most wins on the 54-hole tour.

While speaking with the media regarding this, the 26-year-old expressed that it was ‘special’ to be on top alongside the 5-time major champion.

I mean, it’s special to be up there with Brooks as most wins. I mean, it’s just been three years since I joined here on LIV, and I feel like it’s a special place right now for me to be here and I can become the most winner on the league.

Joaquin Niemann qualifies for 2025 U.S. Open via pathway provided to LIV Golf

The year 2025 marked the first time a major championship had opened pathways for LIV Golfers to qualify for them. With his win at LIV Golf Mexico City, Joaquin Niemann has qualified for the 2025 U.S. Open.

The golfer is ranked at the top of the LIV Golf individual standings. The top-ranked golfer was supposed to receive a direct entry into the U.S. Open this year if they did not have any previous exemptions. Niemann, who does not have an exemption, thus qualified for this major tournament at Oakmont in June this year.

Last year, Niemann played in 3 major championships. He finished T22 at the Masters, T39 in the PGA Championship, and T58 at the Open Championship. The U.S. Open was the one event where he did not feature.
