As noted Niemann has been playing very well this season and as a result earned a special invitation to The Masters which is how he was able to enter it. LIV has struggled for year

LIV Golf was back in action in Mexico City, it’s sixth event of the season and first since the Masters. It was the league’s first visit to Mexico City and the third visit to Mexico after playing in Mayakoba in each of the last two years.

Joaquin Niemann won LIV Golf Mexico City on Sunday for his third victory in six events this season, closing with a 6-under 65 for a three-stroke margin over Bryson DeChambeau and Lucus Herbert.
