Joaquin Niemann receives Special Invitation for PGA Championship

A spokesperson for the PGA confirmed that Joaquin Niemann, currently playing on the LIV Golf Tour, has been granted a special invitation to participate in this year’s PGA Championship.

Joaquin Niemann Receives Special Invitation

As Joaquin Niemann cannot collect any world ranking points on the LIV Golf Tour, a special invitation of this kind is required for the Chilean to secure his participation. Only players in the top 100 of the world rankings are usually invited to the PGA Championship. Although Joaquin Niemann is currently ranked 72nd in the world, he is in danger of falling out of the world’s top 100 by May. This is despite the fact that he has won two LIV Golf League events this season, including last week in Saudi Arabia. Niemann was also successful at the ISPS Handa Australian Open at the start of the current DP World Tour season and finished third at the International Series in Oman.

Not the First Special Invitation

Such special permission to take part in a tournament is not an isolated case, as it is often at the discretion of the major organisers who they invite to take part in the tournament. Last year, eight players from LIV Golf received such an invitation. Niemann himself already received special permission to take part in the Masters at Augusta National a fortnight ago. With the invitation for the PGA Championship, the 25-year-old is now qualified for three of the four Major tournaments this year. The PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Club takes place from 16 to 19 May in Louisville, Kentucky.

The PGA Tour season is well underway. The latest tournament victories have shaken up the FedExCup leaderboard, causing a ripple effect among the rankings. Currently, Matthieu Pavon from France holds the lead in the FedExCup rankings, bolstered by his recent tournament success. His impressive points tally stands at 949 after just four events, including three top-ten finishes and a coveted victory. Meanwhile, the English contingent is struggling with no player inside the top 50.

The english golfers stay behind in the FedExCup ranking

Two Englishmen have particularly distinguished themselves this season. Tommy Fleetwood, currently 52nd in the FedExCup standings, has tallied 195 points across three events, solidifying his status with a top-ten finish. Justin Rose, a familiar name and another English standout, sits at 56th place, securing 185 points in four events. Both players have higher ambitions, but are fighting to catch up with the top.

Matthieu Pavon leads the pack

Top FedExCup contenders, as we look at the very top of the leaderboard, Matthieu Pavon’s performance remains the highlight, leading the pack as the number one contender. Close behind him are the American golfers, Scottie Scheffler and Chris Kirk, occupying the second and fourth spots with 848 and 813 points respectively. Each has played five events and has multiple top-ten finishes to their name. Meanwhile, Japan’s Hideki Matsuyama and Wyndham Clark from the USA round out the top five. Matsuyama has accrued 825 points from six events, and Clark has 773 from five, both securing wins this season. The fight for supremacy in the FedExCup will undoubtedly continue to be a spectacle as we advance through the PGA Tour calendar.

How the PGA Tours FedEx Cup works

The FedExCup is the season ranking of the PGA Tour. The top 30 players in the FedExCup ranking are allowed to take part in the PGA Tour’s final play-off tournament at the end of the season. The season ranking also determines who is allowed to play on the PGA Tour the following year. At each tournament, the players who make the cut collect points. The total number of points earned at a tournament depends on the value of the event. Major tournaments earn the most points. The winner receives 500 points for winning a normal PGA Tour tournament.
