In-form LIV Golf’s Joaquin Niemann, The International Series Rankings champion for the 2024 season, is the latest big name to be confirmed for International Series India presented by DLF, the US$2 million tournament taking place at DLF Golf and Country Club next month.
The Chilean, who captains the Torque GC team on the LIV Golf League, will join defending US Open champion Bryson DeChambeau and local hero Anirban Lahiri for the tournament which will take place from 30 January to 02 February on the iconic course in Gurugram.
Niemann was runner-up in the LIV Golf League individual standings in an impressive 2024 season, winning two of the first three tournaments in Mayakoba and Jeddah, and clinching two T2 and two T3 places as he narrowly lost out to two-time major champion Jon Rahm.
The 26-year-old, a two-time PGA Tour winner, finished the campaign on a high by winning the Asian Tour’s season-ending US$5 million PIF Saudi International powered by SoftBank Investment Advisers earlier this month in Riyadh in a thrilling play-off where he held his nerve to edge out 2022 Open champion Cam Smith and promising American Caleb Surratt.
That result, combined with a third-placed finish in the 2024 season-opening International Series Oman, gave Niemann The International Series Rankings crown.
