Neiman, who is doing well at LIV Golf, is ‘impossible’ to participate in the Presidents Cup
Niemann wins two wins at LIV Golf.
It is expected that the international team will inevitably lose power at the Presidents Cup golf tournament held in September this year.
This is because there is a high possibility that LIV Golf players will be excluded from the international team competing against the United States.
Mike Weir (Canada), who was in charge of the international team, stated at a press conference on the 6th (Korean time) that LIV Golf players cannot qualify for the Presidents Cup.
He said, “I want to build a team with the best players, but in reality, that is difficult,” and “(LIV golf players) will only be able to appear in the 2026 tournament.”
Players participating in the Presidents Cup are selected with separate starting points, and unless they are members of the PGA Tour, they do not receive points.
Currently, all LIV Golf players are missing from the Presidents Cup starting point rankings.
The Presidents Cup International team is made up of players from around the world, including Australia, South America, Africa, and Asia, excluding Europe.
Among these, many talented players from Australia, South Africa, and South America are playing at LIV Golf.
Cameron Smith, Mick Leishman (Australia), Joaquin Niemann, Mito Ferreira (Chile), Abraham Anser, Carlos Ortiz (Mexico), Brandon Grace, Louis Oosthuizen, Schwarzl (South Africa), Sebastian Muñoz. (Colombia) are players that are disappointing for the international team.
In particular, the absence of Niemann, who won twice at LIV Golf this year and received a special invitation to the Masters and PGA Championship, is a big loss for the International Team.
Meanwhile, four Korean players, including Kim Joo-hyung, Lim Seong-jae, An Byeong-hun, and Kim Si-woo, are in line to participate in this year’s Presidents Cup, which will be held at the Royal Montreal Golf Club in Canada for four days starting September 28.
Players likely to be selected for the international team include Hideki Matsuyama (Japan), Jason Day, Adam Scott (Australia), Emiliano Grillo (Argentina), and Nick Taylor and Corey Connors (Canada). 한국야동
