Cherry picked comments from a recent article:
Joaquin Niemann’s win at LIV Golf UK was his fifth of the season and has just about settled the race for the individual title.
The result leaves him well clear of Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau. The pair are now his only remaining challengers, with Niemann looking to cap off a remarkable year on LIV Golf.
Joaquin is one of the worst case scenarios to win on LIV. No one seems to really care. He’s won five times on LIV now this year and hasn’t made any noise in a major championship.
He changed swing coaches and his caddie this past week. What does it say that he’s not satisfied with the state of things when he has five wins on LIV this year? I think that’s pretty indicative of him realising the lack of strength to the field. And even Jon Rahm making similar comments at the US Open and being annoyed about the top 10 streak on LIV, saying explicitly if these fields were bigger and deeper, I wouldn’t have a top 10 streak going. I think these guys know, and Joaquin probably had a bit of a wake-up call this year at the major championships, realizing his game isn’t probably where he thinks that it is.
Summed up quite nicely IMO.
