Joaquin Niemann is one of the most interesting names on LIV Golf, given his dominance since the moment he arrived on this circuit. The 26-year-old will pose a great danger to his opponents in the future as well, and Curtis Strange also had words of praise for him, stressing during the ESPN Masters Tournament Media Conference Call that the Chilean is a golfer who should play on the PGA and DP World Tour.
Strange, on the other hand, is not sure that playing at LIV Golf, this young golfer has the prospect of making a good result.
“I think Joaquin Niemann is a hell of a young player. I wish he was playing the DP World Tour or the American (PGA) Tour. He needs to be playing over here.
He is the talent that, at the end of the day, 25 years from now, I would like to see his record put up against a lot of other people. It’s not going to happen when you’re at LIV. Y’all know what I’m saying.”- he said as quoted by Golf Monthly.
Playing on LIV Golf doesn’t bring the same attention as being part of the strongest Tour, and Curtis feels it would be great to see players who used to be part of the PGA Tour again on this Tour. Additionally, he believes fans share the same sentiment, thinking it would be a big deal.
“He’s over there and we only see him four or five times a year, and it’s disappointing for all of us. Those guys, I want to watch play. I miss watching them play. They made their decision, and that’s okay.
I think that the public and the TV people and all of us fans of the game would like to see those guys play more often on our Tour. Not to let them back, don’t get me wrong, but I wish they were playing on our Tour, not over there.” he continued.
What can we expect?
There are many who have followed the work of this golfer, expecting him to write history in the coming period. His story is truly unique, but the question is whether the 26-year-old is ready for a new step in his career like the PGA Tour.
There are many factors that will influence his decision. However, we will closely monitor his situation, and see if the Ceylonese can really write history in this sport.
