Joaquin Niemann’s plans for the 2027 season set to be confirmed following LIV Golf’s collapse
Joaquin Niemann is expected to be a prominent figure on the DP World Tour during the 2027 season following the collapse of LIV Golf. Niemann’s future was one of the more interesting talking points following the news earlier this month that BC Partners had withdrawn their bid to take over LIV.
Joaquin Niemann is anticipated to play a significant role on the DP World Tour in the 2027 season, following the discontinuation of LIV Golf. The Chilean golfer was one of the standout performers in LIV 1.0, securing nine victories, including two during 2026. Despite failing to achieve a top-seven finish in the four major championships, Niemann's talent has drawn considerable interest. Many are eager to see him compete again on the PGA Tour, potentially in 2028.
According to Golf Channel LA, Niemann will join the DP World Tour for the upcoming season, receiving various invitations. The report suggests he could participate in 15 to 20 events as a wildcard. This development is set to be confirmed after the DP World Tour Championship concludes on Sunday. The move is considered advantageous for the DP World Tour, despite acknowledging the challenges faced by the league due to the lack of a robust field.
However, Niemann's potential deserves attention, as he is a rising star with a proven track record on the PGA Tour. Winning twice before his transition to LIV, and his likelihood of joining the majors in the future makes his inclusion on the DP World Tour a smart strategy for the league.
