Joaquín Niemann will play the PGA Championship, the second Major of the year, which will take place from May 16 to 19 at the Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville. This has been confirmed by the Chilean golfer in statements to Golfwrx. The journalist asked him that he had many chances to play the PGA, as he currently ranks 72nd in the world ranking and usually the top 100 in the world and even some who are beyond the 100th place get in. It is normal for Niemann to still be among the top 100 in May, but whatever happens, even if he leaves that top 100, he will be at the PGA Championship. “Yes, I have also been invited to the PGA and I will be there,” Joaco assured.
The PGA of America has confirmed to Niemann that whatever happens in the coming weeks he will have a spot in Valhalla. Thus, the South American golfer already has three Majors secured in 2024. He qualified for the Open Championship with his victory in the past Open of Australia, received an invitation for the Masters of Augusta, at the same time as Thorbjorn Olesen and Ryo Hisatsune, and now they have also confirmed the PGA Championship.
The only Major missing for him to play them all is the US Open. Niemann has confirmed that he will do everything possible to also be in the third Major of the year, which will be played in June in Pinehurst. Joaco plans to present himself to the preliminaries, as long as he does not enter by world ranking. For the US Open you have to be among the top 60 in the world at different times of the year. To achieve this, Niemann would have to do very well in the Masters and the PGA Championship, something that should not be ruled out given his current form.
