Multiple PGA Tour champion admits he would love to return if LIV Golf folds
Photo by Ben Jared/PGA TOUR LIV Golf is completely up in the air right now, with Saudi Arabia’s PIF set to pull their funding from the league at the end of this season. LIV Golf seriously rocked the golfing landscape back in 2022 when they emerged onto the scene. However, they have never managed to gain a foothold as an elite platform for world-class golfers to perform.
And while LIV Golf has stagnated over the past few years, the PGA Tour has gone from strength to strength.

If worst comes to worst, and LIV Golf does indeed fold, numerous big-name players will be looking for a place to play next season.
Joaquin Niemann would ‘love to play on the PGA Tour again’ if LIV folds Chilean star Joaquin Niemann has been one of the best players on LIV Golf over the past few years. The 27-year-old has seven LIV Golf wins to his name, with five of them coming since February 2025. Niemann also won twice on the PGA Tour before leaving to join LIV in 2022.
But could the Chilean move back to the PGA Tour at some point? When speaking to Beyond The Clubhouse , Niemann responded when asked what he plans to do if LIV Golf does fold. “ Yeah, I mean, I would love to, you know, just play, keep playing golf of course.
