Joaquin Niemann says that a good finish in Majors is at the back of his mind

After his win at Adelaide, Joaquin Niemann was asked if he was ready to contend or win a Major. The Chilean golfer said (via LIV Golf):

"I mean, obviously, that's something that we all work for it. There's something that I know I can do it. It's just a matter of you know, the week being my way, you know, I just need to be patient. You know, it's something that is back of my mind, having a good finish in the Majors. So, yeah, I'm ready for it."

Joaquin Niemann competed in three Majors in 2024 except the US Open. Even in 2025, he is exempted from all Majors except the US Open. However, the US Open announced a new qualification pathway for LIV Golf players with the highest-ranked LIV player in the top three of the standings, if not otherwise exempt by May 19, 2025.

When asked if he aims to grab the spot at the US Open, he said:

"Yeah, definitely. I mean, hopefully, I can grab it before that. But yeah, I mean, that's that's great. You know, they're making their point and, you know, all the majors are, you know, doing what they have to do. So, it's good."
