"I know I'm going to have a good chance to win" - Joaquin Niemann is confident about his chances at 2024 Masters 

Joaquin Niemann will be playing in the Masters 2024 thanks to a special invitation from the organizers. The Chilean is confident that he will be able to take advantage of this opportunity and claimed that he has "a good chance to win" the tournament.

Niemann is outside the top 50 of the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) since LIV Golf events (where he has been playing since 2022) do not receive ranking points. However, his performances in 2024 have been so outstanding that they did not go unnoticed by Augusta National officials.

On his current sporting form and his chances at the Masters 2024, Joaquin Niemann said (via LIV Golf Updates):

"It’s a golf course [Augusta National's] that I've been enjoying the last couple of years. I haven't had a really good result yet, but I'm looking forward to it. If I keep playing the way I’m playing, I know I'm going to have a good chance to win."

Joaquin Niemann started his 2024 season by winning the Australian Open held by the PGA Tour of Australasia. He also played in the Dubai Desert Classic held by the European Tour and finished T4. He played one event on the International Series of the Asian Tour as well, finishing in the top 10.

In the current LIV Golf season, Niemann has won two out of the four events so far (LIV Golf Mayakoba and LIV Golf Jeddah) in addition to finishing fourth in Hong Kong. He currently leads the individual rankings on the circuit as well.

Joaquin Niemann has played at the Masters Championship four times (2018, 2021, 2022, 2023) with three cuts made. His best performance was in 2023 when he finished T16.
