Niemann Claims Record 8th LIV Golf Title in Korea

Joaquin Niemann captured his record eighth LIV Golf individual title by birdieing the first playoff hole against Talor Gooch at the Asiad Country Club.

In a dramatic finish, 27‑year‑old Niemann outplayed OKGC captain Talor Gooch, securing a birdie on the first playoff hole to win LIV Golf Korea. The victory marks his first win of 2026 and extends his lead with three more titles than any other player in league history.

Both players finished 12 under after a 3‑under 67 final round. Niemann’s four birdies early on and a precise 150‑yard drive set up the decisive putt. Gooch, who tied for the lead during the back‑nine, fell short after a 28‑foot birdie attempt on the 16th. solvita.blog
