What Is Joaquin Niemann's Net Worth?
What is the former No.1 amateur in the world worth? Here, we take a look
Despite being in his mid 20s, Joaquin Niemann has already enjoyed some successes in the game of golf, with the Chilean a multiple-time winner on the PGA Tour, as well as a former World No.1 amateur golfer, a feat he held for almost a year.
After victories on the PGA Tour circuit, Niemann moved to the LIV Golf League and, in the process, saw his net worth increase considerably. Having moved to the Saudi-backed league, we take a look at just how much the young Chilean is worth.
Having moved to the LIV Golf League, Niemann reportedly signed for a nine-figure $100 million deal, with the Chilean joining up at the fourth LIV event. In just four tournaments, he pocketed $4.5 million, including three top 5 finishes, and was the 16th highest earner of the series in 2022.
Prior to his move, Niemann enjoyed a number of fine wins on the PGA Tour, one of which came at the Genesis Invitational, an event hosted by none other than Tiger Woods. The victory secured his biggest payday on the Tour, with Niemann pocketing $2,160,000.
In total, he secured $14.5 million on the PGA Tour, with $5 million of that coming during the 2021-22 season. The prize money doesn't include his runs at the FedEx Cup, where Niemann qualified for the Tour Championship three times in a row from 2019.
According to Niemann's website, he is sponsored by adidas, Ping, Rolex, Titleist, Kaufmann, Chile Avocados and Scotiabank. His longest-running sponsor is adidas, with the apparel brand partnering with the Chilean since he turned professional in 2018.
Along with adidas, Niemann has used Ping golf clubs for some time, with the Chilean also opting for a Ping bag. He has also used the Titleist Pro V1x golf ball for some time in his set-up. We are currently unsure as to how much these deals are worth.

Taking up the game when he was just seven years of age, Matt made it into his county squad just a year later and continues to play the game at a high standard, with a handicap of around 2-4. To date, his best round came in 2016, where he shot a six-under-par 66 having been seven-under through nine holes. He currently plays at Witney Lakes in Oxfordshire and his favourite player is Rory McIlroy, despite nearly being struck by his second shot at the 17th during the 2015 BMW PGA Championship.
