The 26-year-old has been on a great run since the beginning of 2024. Joaquin Niemann captured his first LIV Golf individual title earlier this year. He finished on the top of the table at the LIV Golf Mayakoba event. The Chilean also gained his second victory a few weeks later at the LIV Golf Jeddah event in March 2024. Overall, he got 10 top-ten finishes throughout the 2024 season of LIV Golf.

His exemplary strokeplay also helped him book the second spot on the individual player leaderboard at the end of the season. Niemann only narrowly missed out on the board leader, Jon Rahm, who has dominated LIV Golf since his defection in December 2023.

Joaquin Niemann has always been a top performer ever since he turned pro in 2018. Before LIV Golf existed, Niemann was finding his way fairly well through the PGA Tour. He made 96 cuts in the 4 years he spent there and got 2 wins and 22 under-10 finishes. And Niemann’s efforts in the American-based franchise have helped him amass a good net worth of $15.22 million as recorded on his PGA Tour profile. But well, that was before he joined LIV Golf in 2022.

He has had decent success when it comes to the European circuit as well. The Chilean has bagged 1 DP World Tour win in the course of his career. He won the 2023 ISPS Handa Australian Open championship by defeating Rikuya Hoshino in the playoffs. Apart from that, Niemann had 4 more top-10 finishes. This has helped Niemann gain $1.7 million.

More recently, Joaquin Niemann had a triumphant visit at the Asian Tour. Participating in the 2024 Saudi International tournament, he went neck-and-neck with Cameron Smith and Caleb Surratt while also closely being traced by Ben Campbell. Yet, Niemann emerged victorious and bagged $1 million a few hours ago.

Turning the chapter towards the LIV circuit, Neimann has been pretty successful.  His wins in Jeddah and Mexico have also rewarded him with $4 million each. With 2nd place finishes in LIV Golf events in the UK and Chicago, Niemann has gained $1.58 million and $1.87 million respectively. Finishing 3rd in Nashville and Hong Kong has added a total of $1.9 to his tally. Finally, finishing 2nd on the individual standings in the 2024 season ensured that Niemann earned $8 million. He also has a lucrative contract with LIV Golf that drastically increases his net worth.

So putting that all into perspective, according to an article published by Today’s Golfer back in October 2024, Joaquin Niemann’s earnings in 2024 were around a lump sum of $28.5 million. Taking into account his recent earnings in Saudi Arabia, it is presumed to have grown to around $30 million. That makes Joaquin Niemann the second-highest-earning pro in LIV Golf, behind Jon Rahm. So, when it comes to his career net worth, as per information gathered from the reports, just from his on-course achievements alone, Niemann has earned over $54 million ever since he turned pro.
