Joaquin Niemann won the 2025 LIV Golf Adelaide at the Grange Golf Club. The Chilien golfer carded an exceptional 65 on the final day to win the event by three strokes, while Abraham Ancer, who was right behind him throughout the round, faltered at the final couple of holes to give Niemann his third LIV Golf trophy.

After the victory, Joaquin Niemann did a shoey as he drank champagne out of his shoes. He replicated the Australian F1 star Daniel Ricciardo on the stage after winning the trophy.

Golf Digest shared the picture of the same on their X (formerly Twitter) account with a caption,

"Joaquin Niemann won LIV Adeladie and promptly did a shoey."

This tradition was popularised on the international stage by the Australian F1 driver Daniel Ricciardo, who used to do a shoey on stage after winning any event.

Joaquin Niemann started his final round three shots back of the leaders Carlos Ortiz, Sam Horsfield, and Abraham Ancer. However, Joaquin Niemann's bogey-free round on the final day with seven birdies made sure he took the lead and eventually won the LIV Golf Adelaide.

In the team event, Fireballs GC managed to win the event as they carded -21 for the event, while Legion XIII finished second at -15.
