After the last victory of Joaquin Niemann at LIV Golf Singapore, Mickelson shared his opinion about the golfer, stressing that he is world's best player. The golfer from Chile was just as great as last year, but it seems that in 2025 he wants to continue his great streak and show the world what qualities he really possesses.
Niemann's team, Torque GC, previously stressed on social media that Niemann is probably a top 5 golfer in the world. His great form makes everyone happy.
Joaqun Niemann has got to be a top 5 player in the world right now, he wrote.
Currently sits at the top of the leaderboard in Singapore for his 2nd win of the season and 4th in LIV Golf. Vamos Joaco.
Phil Mickelson then responded to this announcement, having no doubts that the Chilean golfer is still the best player in the world.

Wayne "Radar" Riley reacts to Mickelson's statement
Wayne "Radar" Riley, a famous golfer, reacted to Phil's statements, somewhat surprised and in disbelief after Mickelson's announcement on social media. Riley has no doubt that Joaquin is far from the best golfer in the world, although he believes that Niemann belongs to the top 20 golfers in the world.
In addition, he emphasized that the Chilean also does not belong to the top 10 golfers in the world, listing names that are significantly better than him, at least in his opinion.
It will be quite interesting to follow the progress of this young golfer, and see what his capabilities and abilities really are.
