Niemann wins LIV Golf New York for ninth career title

Joaquin Niemann secured his ninth career LIV Golf victory on Sunday, August 9, 2026, closing with a 2-under 69 to win the LIV Golf New York event by three shots at Trump International Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey. The Chilean golfer finished the tournament at 16-under par 268, going wire-to-wire after holding the first-round lead.

Niemann entered the final round with a two-stroke advantage over Harold Varner III, who had surged up the leaderboard with a third-round 65. Varner matched Niemann through much of the final round but could not keep pace as Niemann pulled away late. Niemann made a birdie on the par-4 13th hole and followed with an eagle on the par-5 15th to seal the win. Varner shot a final-round 70 to finish alone in second place at 13-under par.

"I feel like the more they push me, the better golfer I'm going to become from every experience than I experience," Niemann said. "To be able to hit the shots that I did and make the putts that I did coming down the stretch, I put credit on myself."

The victory extends Niemann's own LIV Golf record for individual wins. He won five times during the 2025 season and added another victory earlier this year in South Korea....
