Joaquín Niemann Wins LIV New Yorkactive

Joaquín Niemann celebrated again in LIV Golf. The Talagantino closed a brilliant weekend and took the title in New York. This is his second crown of the season on the circuit, which has already crowned Jon Rahm as the champion of the year. The Spanish player became a three-time champion. Likewise, it is the ninth trophy the Chilean has achieved since he arrived in 2022. Joaco is the golfer with the most individual victories in the history of the tournament. His record was expanded mainly during a great 2025, where he achieved five crowns. Regarding the final round, the Talagantino acknowledged the difficulties he faced. "I feel I didn't have the best start. I didn't feel very comfortable. But as the day went on, I started to play better and better, feeling more comfortable and more committed; I started to follow my lines and the ball began to go where I aimed. I am very happy and proud of how I played at the end," he highlighted after the competition. On the other hand, he confessed how he enjoys moments at the limit: "Without a doubt, I like the feeling. It won't last forever; I will probably forget it in a couple of hours. But I love the pressure, I love living those moments, spending a long week here playing golf and leading the tournament from the beginning is very special, and I definitely enjoy it."

Surprise in Chilean basketball. Nicolás Carvacho, considered one of the best athletes in the country's history in the discipline, announced his retirement from professional sports through an emotional message on his official Instagram account. "It has taken me quite some time to find the right words to express myself, and it hasn't been easy. As far back as I can remember, playing sports at a high level has been one of the most important things in my life. Something I committed to early on to work hard and dedicate every available moment to improve and see what direction I was going to take. Playing basketball was the gift that the Lord blessed me with at 15 years old when He told me that this was my path. From that moment on, all the highs and lows, the sacrifices I had to make, perseverance during difficult times, the gains, the happiness, the success. In the end, it was all worth it, and I would do it all over again," he began. In the message, the Chilean elaborated on physical problems. "Unfortunately, injuries have been a major and ongoing problem in recent years. My journey went from proving who I was, fighting and earning every minute, week by week having that high impact on my teams, winning championships, and later in my career fighting for the rehabilitation of my injuries to be able to play and be present. I am proud of my career. I always gave 100% and overcame many circumstances, played injured, along with the effort and the...

Joaquín Niemann shined this weekend at the LIV in New York. The Chilean golfer dominated all four rounds of the event and achieved his second crown of the season and the ninth in this circuit. "I had a great time playing there with Harold (Verner III) and Lee (Westwood). It's a pretty tough and demanding golf course, where you have to hit the ball well from the tee, keep it in the fairway, and control the spin very well on the second shot," he began by saying. Regarding the final round, the Talagantino acknowledged the difficulties he faced. "I feel like I didn't have the best start. I didn't feel very comfortable. But as the day went on, I started to play better and better, feeling more comfortable and more committed; I started to follow my lines and the ball began to go where I aimed. I'm very happy and proud of how I played in the end," he highlighted. On the other hand, Joaco confessed how he enjoys moments at the limit: "Without a doubt, I like the feeling. It won't last forever; I probably will forget it in a couple of hours. But I love the pressure, I love living those moments, spending a long week here playing golf and leading the tournament from the beginning is very special, and I definitely enjoy it." In the same vein, he described how the fight with his pursuers was. "It was a very fun battle with Lee and Harold. I felt Harold had quite a bit of momentum almost all day...

Domino from start to finish. Joaquín Niemann shined again in LIV Golf and won his second crown of the year in New York. The Talagantino led all four rounds of the tournament. In the first two, he managed to build a comfortable lead that narrowed to the minimum over the weekend. However, it was then that the Chilean showed all his class to win the tournament, with 268 strokes (-16), and secure his ninth title on this circuit. More than anyone else. Just like on Saturday, Joaco struggled with the first hole. A bogey marked the initial stop after problems with the putt, reducing the lead to just one shot over local Harold Varner III. Then, this gap was further shortened, with a birdie from the American on the sixth, leaving the tournament with two leaders. Again, the wind was sometimes a complex factor at Trump National Golf Club Bedminster, owned by the President of the United States, who was present once more, demanding maximum precision to stay in the fight. And that virtue appeared at the right moment. On the seventh hole, the national player scored his first shot of the afternoon from a quite respectable distance, returning to be the sole leader. But on the other side, Varner III was inspired during that stretch, and another birdie on the eighth put him back at the top along with Niemann, confirming that the battle for the title would go until the end. By that moment, the Chi…

After two perfect days, Joaquín Niemann had to navigate a difficult third round at the LIV Golf in New York. Despite this, his immense talent and great ability allowed him to overcome and come in as the top contender to win the title after finishing with 70 strokes (-1), which leaves him at the top with a total of -14. The Chilean started the day with a five-shot lead over his closest rival Lee Westwood. However, on the first hole, he made his first mistake of the entire tournament, with a double bogey after a very poor tee shot that went beyond the course boundaries, which is why he was penalized. Fortunately for Talagantino, his closest pursuer also got tangled up at the start with a bogey on the first flag, so the difference was reduced to just one shot. On the third hole, Joaco achieved a very good birdie, but on the next, he failed again, this time with the putt, reducing the gap to three strokes compared to Westwood and Harold Varner III, who also matched the second-place line. Things remained difficult on the always challenging course of Trump National Golf Club Bedminster. But a great reaction from Talagantino allowed him to dispel the fears. Two consecutive shots on the seventh and eighth holes temporarily restored his calm. However, a new mistake on the ninth reduced the gap to just two strokes. The second part of the course seemed crucial to return to distance...

Joaquín Niemann shined again and did so at the Trump National Golf Club Bedminster, the scene of the LIV in New York, where he finished the first round with 64 strokes (-7), remaining as the solo leader. "Obviously, it's a pleasure to be back at Bedminster. It's a real golf course. The conditions are incredible. It's one of those courses that demands commitment on every shot. And today (yesterday) I did very well. I was able to commit to each shot, trust my swing, see the trajectory of the ball, and simply try to give my best. Yes, I am very happy with how the day turned out," he acknowledged. The Chilean was also asked if the round had been the best of the year. "I have a very bad memory, so I'll say yes," he said. "I'm excited about the opportunity to lead after the first round. I'll go out there and try to give my best. I'll figure it out, follow my routine, keep my shots, be 100 percent committed on each shot," he added. In that vein, he addressed his current state, now without a chance to fight for the title. "Obviously, I can't win everything now, but for me, as a player and knowing I have many more years playing here, it's about finding ways to improve day by day, and then the next day, and the following week, and so on," he said. "I had the opportunity to win it the last two years. Right now, I don't have it. I feel that my game is still evolving in the direction..."
