The Chilean, who leads the Torque GC team on the LIV Golf League, will join defending US Open champion Bryson DeChambeau of USA and local hero Anirban Lahiri in the lineup for the tournament, an International Series statement said. Niemann was runner-up in the LIV Golf League individual standings in an impressive 2024 season with two wins out of the first three at Mayakoba and Jeddah, and clinching two tied runner-up and two shared third placings as he narrowly lost out to two-time major champion Jon Rahm for season’s honours.
The 26-year-old, also a two-time PGA Tour winner, finished the campaign on a high by winning the season-ending $5 million PIF Saudi International powered by SoftBank Investment Advisers earlier this month in Riyadh in a thrilling play-off against 2022 Open champion Cameron Smith and promising American Caleb Surratt.
