Joaquin Niemann will be keen to continue his good form when he takes part in The Honda Classic at the PGA National Resort & Spa - The Champion Course.
The Chilean star is oozing with confidence at the moment having won the most recent tournament in the 2021-22 PGA Tour season.
Niemann shot rounds of 63-63-68-71, to win the 2022 Genesis Invitational hosted by Tiger Woods at the Riviera Country Club in Los Angeles, USA.

The 2017 Mark H. McCormack Medal winner finished the Genesis Invitational at 19-under par, two strokes ahead of Collin Morikawa and Cameron Young.
It was Niemann's second PGA Tour victory having secured his maiden win in 2019 as he clinched the Military Tribute at The Greenbrier title.
Therefore, the Santiago-born golfer became the first PGA Tour winner from Chile, and the youngest international PGA Tour winner since 1923.
Niemann, 23, finished second at the Sentry Tournament of Champions and Sony Open in Hawaii last year as looked to add to his trophy cabinet.

“Obviously everyone's here to compete against the best players in the world. I'm here to do the same,” Niemann said after winning the Genesis Invitational.
“I want to compete with the best players in the world, I want to be No. 1 one day. I think there's nothing better like what I'm feeling right now.
"Winning a PGA Tour event, getting a trophy, having Tiger there, all the history behind, there's nothing that can compete with this.”
Four men have won The Honda Classic more than once namely; Jack Nicklaus, Johnny Miller, Mark Calcavecchia and Pádraig Harrington.
