When Joaquín Niemann joined LIV Golf in August 2022, it marked a shift in how his schedule and opportunities were structured. Since that move, he has still competed in major championships even as his focus has been largely on the LIV Golf League.

But how has his performance in the sport's biggest tournaments held up since the switch? Here's a full breakdown of his major results and finances

Performance in Majors: Results Since August 2022

Even after joining LIV Golf, Niemann continued playing in the four majors each year. His most consistent showings in the big events came in 2024 and 2025:

  • Masters Tournament: After missing earlier majors in 2022, Joaquín Niemann finished T22 in 2024 and T29 in 2025 at Augusta National.
  • PGA Championship: His best major result since joining LIV came in 2025, where he finished T8, showing that he can contend on golf’s biggest stages.
  • U.S. Open & The Open: Niemann’s results in these events have been tougher. He missed the cut at the 2025 U.S. Open and finished T58 at the 2024 Open Championship.

Earnings: Putting Up Big Numbers

Since joining LIV Golf, Niemann’s financial success has skyrocketed as per Spotrac, mostly from LIV Golf events rather than major prize purses:

  • LIV Golf earnings: He sits among the highest earners on the LIV circuit, with $72,811,504 in LIV Golf career earnings.
  • 2025 individual season: In the 2025 LIV Golf season, Niemann led the money list with over $22 million, showing remarkable consistency and high finishes.
  • In PGA Tour relaated events, he managed to earn $597,581 in 2025; 2024 ended with $284,498, while 2023 ended with $369,001 without any wins, but he finished in the top 25 once.

In contrast, big tournament winnings only account for a small part of a professional golfer's overall earnings nowadays when compared to their paydays from LIV. A top finish in a major tournament is still worth a significant amount of money, but for Niemann, the main source of money has been his performances on the LIV tour week after week.

Since August 2022, here’s a year-by-year breakdown of his earnings:

  • 2022: $10,775,345
  • 2023: $8,115,667
  • 2024: $28,178,766
  • 2025: $32,993,866
