Joaquin Niemann won the Genesis Invitational on Sunday for his second career PGA Tour victory, beating a field that included every one of the top-10 players in the world.
Niemann's triumph at Riviera Country Club didn't just mark his first title since winning the 2019 Greenbrier, but it also bumped him over $12 million in career earnings on Tour. Niemann's $2.16 million first-place prize, by far the biggest of his career, pushed him to $12,317,781 in 98 events as a pro.
He is also projected to climb to 20th in the world rankings.
"I think the main difference was probably, I mean, this weekend I was just thinking about I want to win, I want to win," Niemann said.
