Niemann Beats Gooch in Playoff to Win LIV Golf Korea
Niemann earned US$4 million after a first-hole birdie in the playoff, and his eighth LIV Golf victory set the circuit’s all-time wins mark.
- On Sunday, Joaquin Niemann of Chile won LIV Golf Korea in a sudden-death playoff, defeating American Talor Gooch with a birdie on the first extra hole at Asiad Country Club in Busan.
- The pair finished regulation tied at 12-under 268, forcing sudden-death play where Niemann clinched his league-leading eighth career victory with a birdie putt from three feet.
- Niemann earned $4 million in prize money, while two-time major champion Bryson DeChambeau finished one stroke behind; his team, Crushers Golf Club, won the team title with a 23-under score.
- Admitting he felt "pretty nervous," the 27-year-old Niemann said, "I love being in these moments," while Gooch, who shot 67, reflected that play "felt amazing" at times but lacked consistency.
- The victory comes as Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund announced last month it will cease bankrolling LIV Golf after 2026, with CEO Scott O'Neil reportedly seeking $250 million to sustain operations.
