How Much Joaquin Niemann Won At LIV Golf Korea
The Torque GC captain claimed his eighth LIV Golf title by beating Talor Gooch in a playoff at Asiad Country Club
The first of back-to-back events in the LIV Golf League calendar concluded in South Korea ahead of next week's trip to Spain for LIV Golf Andalucia.
It will be Joaquin Niemann heading to the Iberian Peninsula with the most confidence after he secured his eighth LIV Golf title at Asiad Country Club.
The Torque GC captain beat Talor Gooch in a playoff, thanks to a birdie on the first extra hole to give him his first victory of the season. Defending champion Bryson DeChambeau finished third.
As usual, there was $20 million on offer in the individual competition at LIV Golf Korea.
Thanks to his victory, Niemann claimed $4 million in prize money for winning the individual title. Meanwhile, Gooch earned $2.25 million, while he likely collected more thanks to his team's finish.
Talor Gooch won over $2 million for his runner-up placing
As ever, $10 million is shared among the teams. In addition, there was a $2.3 million bonus pool for the leading player in each of the top-three teams.
DeChambeau's team, Crushers GC, won the team title, meaning he'll take even more than the $1.5m prize money for finishing third, thanks to his share of that bonus money.
In theory, that could be the full $1 million share from the pool, although, as noted by LIV Golf, “captains can allocate to their team players as they wish.”
Gooch's OKGC finished second to win $800,000, meaning that, like DeChambeau, he is entitled to at least some of that prize money. Cameron Smith's Ripper GC placed third to earn $500,000.
Below is what each player and team won at LIV Golf Korea.
