Joaquin Niemann continues to impress in 2024 and, throughout this year's LIV Golf season, he has secured a number of victories and finished second in their individual standings.
A multiple-time winner on the PGA Tour, including the 2022 Genesis Invitational, before joining LIV Golf, Niemann finished second in LIV Golf's individual standings, securing an $8 million paycheck in the process.
Certainly, it's been the Chilean's best and most consistent season to date and, in this piece, we have taken a look at his results and how much money the 25-year-old has secured throughout the year.
To begin with, Niemann featured in a number of DP World Tour events before LIV's season started in February. From November to January, he played the Fortinet Australian PGA Championship, ISPS Handa Australian Open and Hero Dubai Desert Classic.
Regarding results, Niemann claimed a solo fifth, a victory and a tie for fourth. These accumulated to $883,500, with the main stand outs being $382,500 and $389,000 for the ISPS Handa Australian Open win and Hero Dubai Desert Classic.
Claiming almost a million dollars prior to the beginning of the LIV Golf season, Niemann started the League's season extremely strong, as he shot a 59 at LIV Golf Mayakoba in the opening round. From there, he defeated Sergio Garcia in a playoff to win $4 million.
Although Niemann finished in a tie for 30th and secured $162,500 in Las Vegas, he then picked up another win in Jeddah, adding another $4 million to his tally. Following his hot start, a tie for fourth followed in Hong Kong, which equated to a $900,000 payday.

Niemann then finished in a tie for ninth, third and seventh to claim $385,500 in Miami, $920,000 in Adelaide and $522,500 in Singapore, which put him firmly in first place within the LIV Golf individual standings.
Although Niemann seemed to be cruising, the Chilean could only manage a tie for 22nd and a tie for 39th in the Masters and PGA Championship, with almost $250,000 being picked up in the process.
Turning his attention back to the LIV Golf League, Niemann produced his worst finish of the season so far at LIV Golf Houston, with a tie for 32nd giving him $151,600. Importantly, Niemann then bounced back with a number of strong results, as he finished tied third at LIV Golf Nashville, tied sixth at LIV Golf Andalucia and tied second at LIV Golf UK.
In those three starts, the 25-year-old claimed $1,000,000, $608,333 and $1,583,333 paydays, before picking up $273,000 at LIV Golf Greenbrier.
Rahm and Niemann led the individual standings going into the final solo event of 2024
Heading into the final solo event of the LIV Golf season, Niemann was three points behind Rahm and, despite a valiant effort, whereby he finished in a share of second, the 25-year-old was defeated by Rahm, who claimed a three shot win over Niemann and Sergio Garcia.
Although Rahm picked up $18 million for his efforts, Niemann still claimed an $8 million payday, whilst Garcia finished third in the individual standings, pocketing the $4 million prize.
Finally, it's not just LIV Golf where Niemann can add to his incredible year, with the Chilean 19th in the DP World Tour's Race to Dubai rankings.
Although unclear as to how many events on the circuit, if he does finish inside the top 70 of the rankings he will qualify for the Abu Dhabi Championship, whilst the top 50 make it to the DP World Tour Championship.
