The 25-year-old Chilean golfer Joaquín Niemann, born on November 7, 1998, has left a notable mark on the world of golf. He displayed remarkable prowess early on and held the top amateur golf ranking from May 2017 to April 2018.
Transitioning to the professional circuit in 2018, Joaquín swiftly made his mark on the PGA Tour, achieving two victories: firstly at A Military Tribute at The Greenbrier in 2019 and later at The American Express in January 2021.
His decision to join LIV Golf in 2022 further cemented his status as a rising star in the sport. With his unwavering commitment and exceptional skills, he remains a closely watched figure on the global golfing stage. Definitely, his unmatched skills and talent are the reason behind his success, but some of the credit also goes to his golfing equipment, which helps him stand out from the crowd.
Joaquín Niemann's Bag
Like most golfers, young Joaquín Niemann enjoys working and playing with the most recently released golfing equipment, but he still interestingly holds on to his older equipment close to his heart; which helped him win his first-ever PGA Tour back in 2019.
Joaquín Niemann's bags consist of an interesting mix of both newly released as well as his share of older equipment. For instance, he has remained loyal to the Ping G410 driver with a LST 10.5 degrees head, while integrating the latest Ping G425 model for both his 3 and 7-wood clubs.
His preferred irons are the Ping iBlades, a choice he has maintained since transitioning to professional golf in 2018. In terms of wedges, he employs a variety of models before opting for a Ping PLD Anser putter. Here's what he is choosing to keep in his bag currently:
Driver: Ping G410 LST (10.5°, Graphite Design Tour AD DI-7x shaft)
Fairway woods: Ping G425 Max (14.5°), Ping G425 Max (20°, Graphite Design Di 8-X shafts shafts)
Irons: Ping iBlade (4-9, Project X 6.0 shafts)
Wedges: Ping Glide 3.0 (46°, Project X 6.5 shaft) Ping Glide Forged Pro (52°, 56° and 60°, Dynamic Gold Tour Issue S400 shafts)

Let's take a look into what young Joaquín Niemann was using back when he first started his career on the PGA Tour.
Driver: Ping G400 LST (10°, Graphite Design Tour AD DI-7x shaft)
Fairway woods: Ping G410 3-wood (14.5°, Graphite Design Tour AD DI-8x shaft), Ping G400 Hybrid (19°, Ping Tour 85x shaft)

There isn't a huge difference between the model types of equipment he is using currently and the one he used to use back when it all started.
