Joaquin Niemann showed this season at LIV Golf what a great golfer he is. In an interview with the media, the 26-year-old Chilean decided to look back on the events at LIV Golf, the PGA Tour, and the DP World Tour. Niemann excelled this season, and it seems that few could match him this season. The Chilean is still playing on the DP World Tour, and this week he will even play one event, and try to defend the Australian Open crown. In an interview with the media, Niemann revealed his plans for the future.

His wishes are to perform not only at LIV and DP World but also on the PGA Tour. The 26-year-old revealed to Fox Sports that many golfers do not have such plans, given that most want to play on the PGA Tour. Niemmnn pointed out that despite his great desire to play on the PGA Tour, he would not be particularly disappointed if he did not play on this Tour. While many golfers have given up on LIV Golf in order to play fewer events, Niemann is clearly not one of them. He has a huge love and passion for golf.
The Genesis Invitational was also one of the topics, considering that he celebrated in this tournament two years ago. The tournament is specific, because it is organized by Tiger Woods. Niemann admitted that he would like to perform there, but also admitted that he feels affection for the Riviera court. The Chilean would like to play in a few PGA Tour tournaments, mostly three or four, along with a few on the DP World Tour. Niemann, looking back on the performances of previous years, recalled the Rolex Series, considering such an experience to be excellent. The 26-year-old wants to participate in these tournaments in the future, together with LIV Golf.
The young golfer is one of those who is also looking forward to the merger and wants it to happen. He considers such a thing the best for this game. Niemann stresses that the merger would be a great thing for everyone: Both golfers and golf fans, who hope for such an outcome. The Chilean believes that such a thing will become a reality in the coming period.

Joaquin Niemann on the merger
Niemann is against some of the suggestions that the season could be extended beyond the current framework. The Chilean explained that the season starts in February and ends in September. Niemann admits that he likes the new rhythm. In a conversation with some of his colleagues who play 14 to 15 tournaments a year, he realized that most of them wanted to prepare as well as possible for the Majors, considering that then they had more time to prepare and were better prepared for the season. Niemann also referred to the association of the Tours, pointing out that it could extend the season. He is not against such an idea if he had two or three months to prepare.
Speaking about the merger, the Chilean points out that many things are not clear, and that mostly there are rumors that it is difficult to determine how true they are. Although some expect that the merger will become a reality next year, it seems that patience will be required for such a thing. A merger is something that Niemann and his colleagues really want, considering that it will make many things easier for them. On the other hand, it is essential that the officials of both Tours understand the importance of agreements and compromises. The question is whether they understand it at this moment.
