After shooting scores of 68 and 64 in the opening two rounds, Joaquin Niemann took charge on the final day of LIV Golf Mexico. The Chilean golfer carded a score of 6-under 65 on Sunday at the Club de Golf Chapultepec to win LIV Golf Mexico City and tied Brooks Koepka‘s record.

Niemann was one of the 12 golfers from LIV who recently took part in the 2025 Masters Tournament. In the first major championship, the Torque GC Captain finished T29 with an even par score for the tournament.

The LIV Golf Mexico City event was his first start since this performance at the Augusta National Golf Club. After the first two rounds, he found himself battling for his 3rd win on the LIV Golf tour this year with Bryson DeChambeau and Cameron Smith.

While DeChambeau and Smith both struggled a bit in the final round, Niemann remained calm and composed. His scores of 68, 64, and 65 saw him end the tournament with a score of 16-under par, 3 shots ahead of runner-ups Lucas Herbert and Bryson DeChambeau.

This win turned out to be Niemann’s 5th LIV Golf title. He thus tied Koepka for the most wins on the LIV Golf circuit at 5.

Niemann, who does not have an exemption, thus qualified for this major tournament at Oakmont in June this year.
