FINAL LEADERBOARD

EQUIPMENT NOTES:

  • The Chilean plays a mix of older and new PING models, his G410 driver the low spin head that was exceptionally popular prior to being replaced by the G425. Niemann opting for the newer G425 fairway woods. Also an older model, the 2019 Presidents Cup player uses the iBlade iron model that was released in 2016.
     
  • A beneficiary of Sergio Garcia's mentorship, Niemann is now a two-time winner on the PGA Tour at just 23, and it was his short game that delivered an impressive victory at Riviera. Ranking highly in the approach and around the greens statistics, as well as scrambling and putting, Niemann uses a farily traditional Anser style putter that is created by the PING Lab Design (PLD) program, while also carries a standard, in modern terms, wedge setup in terms of lofts and bounce angles.
     
  • Niemann's win is the fifth from six events on the PGA Tour for Titleist golf balls in 2022.

And seeing the Chilean flag right there makes me a little more speechless. It's awesome." – Joaquin Niemann.
