Joaquin grabs fifth title as Legion XIII grab team glory

Joaquin Niemann captured his fifth victory of the season following a three-stroke win on Sunday at LIV Golf United Kingdom.

Niemann carded a 3-under 68 on Sunday to finish 17-under 196 for the tournament at the JCB Golf and Country Club in Rocester, England. The Torque GC captain collected five birdies against two bogeys to add his to his titles at Adelaide, Singapore, Mexico City and Virginia.

Sunday’s victory served as a $4 million payday for Niemann, who began the week by firing his caddie and coach after missing the cut at the 2025 Open Championship.

Niemann’s Torque GC, however, was unable to hold its three-stroke lead over Legion XIII in its bid for its first team title since 2023. Legion XIII shot a staggering 14-under on Sunday to finish at 35-under for the tournament, eight strokes better than Torque GC.
