At LIV Golf Virginia, Joaquin Niemann proved why he might be the best player on the Saudi-based tour this season. After three rounds at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club, Niemann scored 15-under par to secure his fourth LIV Golf victory in 2025. Niemann's brilliant form has led to many people hailing him as one of the best golfers on the planet right now. However, 1-time PGA Tour winner Michael Kim went a step further when he joked that even Tiger Woods from the year 2000 would be no match to Niemann. On X (formerly Twitter), Michael Kim wrote:"2000 Tiger Woods would have no chance against LIV golf Niemann 😂"You can check Michael Kim's tweet about Tiger Woods and Joaquin Niemann below: For those unaware, Tiger Woods' 2000 season is one of the greatest seasons the sport has ever witnessed. In that year, Woods won nine events in total and amassed $9,188,321 in total. What's even more mind-boggling is the fact he won three Major championships in that year. The three Major championships Tiger Woods won were the U.S. Open, The Open Championship, and The PGA Championship. Hence, while Joaquin Niemann is doing very well for himself in LIV Golf, the only way he could realistically come close to Woods' 2000 season is if he can win the remaining two Major championships this year.
