Torque Captain Niemann confirms place in field for Int'l Series India presented by DLF
GURUGRAM, India - LIV Golf superstar 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 Torque GC on the LIV Golf League, will join Crushers GC Captain Bryson DeChambeau and local hero Anirban Lahiri at the event, which takes place from Jan. 30-Feb. 2 on the iconic course in Gurugram.
Niemann was runner-up in the LIV Golf League individual standings after an impressive 2024 season, winning two of the first three tournaments (Mayakoba, Jeddah) and clinching two T2 and two T3 finishes as he narrowly lost out to two-time major champion Jon Rahm, who captains Legion XIII.
The 26-year-old 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 playoff where he edged out 2022 Open champion Cameron Smith, captain of Ripper GC, and Legion XIII member 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.
International Series India presented by DLF is the first tournament on the LIV Golf-backed series to be played on the subcontinent. It is the first of 10 elevated events across the season on the Asian Tour that will include stops in Macau, Morocco, Indonesia, Hong Kong and Saudi Arabia, with other destinations soon to be announced.
The series offers players from all over the world a pathway onto the LIV Golf League, with the end-of-season rankings champion guaranteed a place on the roster for the following season. The International Series Rankings also offers players a second chance to claim a place on the LIV Golf League, through the innovative LIV Golf Promotions event.
