In a shocking turn of events, a top LIV Golf player has been called out to ditch the league and make a grand return to the PGA Tour, with experts tipping him to be a serious threat at The Masters.
Since its inception, LIV Golf has struggled to showcase the true depth of talent at its events, with critics claiming that some players lack motivation, especially those nearing the end of their careers. The league has only seen two players clinch a major title post their move, and with Jon Rahm’s underwhelming performance in 2024, doubts have been cast over the decision to leave the PGA Tour.
Amidst all this, Joaquin Niemann emerges as a standout, having secured victory four times since the start of the 2024 season. Despite being hailed as the best player in the world by Phil Mickelson, Niemann’s true potential is yet to be realized in the majors, leaving many questioning his abilities on the grand stage.
Speaking to the media, golf experts Andy North and Curtis Strange expressed their belief that Niemann could be a massive asset to the PGA Tour. North praised Niemann’s exceptional talent, emphasizing his desire to see the young star back on their tour, while Strange echoed similar sentiments, highlighting Niemann’s potential to leave a lasting legacy in the sport.
Niemann’s track record at The Masters has been decent, consistently making the cut in the last four years and never finishing outside the top 40. With such a promising history at Augusta National, all eyes are on Niemann as he gears up for the upcoming tournament, with fans and experts alike anticipating a remarkable performance from the Chilean powerhouse.
