Joaquín Niemann WITB: LIV Golf Adelaide 2025 (Winning Setup)

The atmosphere at LIV Golf Adelaide has quickly become one of the most distinctive on the LIV calendar, and the 2025 edition was no exception. Played at The Grange, the tournament demands commitment from the tee, precise iron play into firm greens and a steady hand on the putting surfaces. It was Joaquín Niemann who handled those demands best, delivering a composed performance built on clarity rather than excess.

Niemann’s winning bag reflected that approach. It was a setup focused on controlled speed, predictable launch and trusted feel, with a strong PING presence from driver through putter. Below is a full breakdown of the clubs he used and why each choice suited the challenge in Adelaide.

Driver: PING G440 LST

Driver: PING G440 LST

At the top of the bag, Niemann played the PING G440 LST, a driver designed for players who want lower spin and tighter dispersion without sacrificing ball speed. The LST profile suits Niemann’s powerful, efficient swing, allowing him to flight the ball through the wind and control launch on holes where positioning matters more than outright distance.

In Adelaide’s often breezy conditions, that combination of speed and spin control proved especially valuable.

Fairway Woods: PING G440 Max 3-Wood, PING G425 7-Wood

Niemann’s long-game setup was notably versatile, blending modern forgiveness with trusted models.

The PING G440 Max 3-wood offered a stable, high-MOI option both off the tee and from the turf, ideal for controlled tee shots and long approaches. Alongside it, the PING G425 7-wood provided a higher-launching alternative for attacking greens from distance, delivering softer landings on firm putting surfaces.

Hybrid: PING G430 Max Hybrid

Completing the trio of woods was a PING G430 Max hybrid, giving Niemann a reliable option from a variety of lies. Together, these clubs allowed him to adapt to different hole shapes and conditions without forcing shots.

Irons: PING Blueprint S (5–PW)

Irons: PING Blueprint S (5–PW)

From the 5-iron through pitching wedge, Niemann trusted PING Blueprint S irons — compact, forged clubs built for elite ball-strikers. These irons are all about distance control, trajectory management and feedback, and they fit perfectly with Niemann’s preference for shaping shots and controlling spin into pins.

At The Grange, where precise approaches often separate scoring chances from scrambling, the Blueprint S irons gave Niemann the control he needed to stay on the front foot.

Wedges: PING S159 (52°, 56°, 60°)

Wedges: PING S159

Wedges: PING S159 (52°, 56°, 60°)

Niemann’s short game was handled by PING S159 wedges in a clean three-wedge setup. Designed for versatility and consistent spin, the S159s are well suited to the tight lies and varied bunkering common on Australian layouts.

This configuration gave Niemann the tools to play everything from controlled full shots to delicate pitches and bunker escapes, without overcomplicating decision-making around the greens.

Putter: PING PLD Anser

Putter: PING PLD Anser

On the greens, Niemann relied on the PING PLD Anser, a modern interpretation of one of golf’s most enduring putter shapes. The Anser’s clean alignment and balanced feel support confident setup and reliable pace control — qualities that matter when greens are quick and crowds are close.

Niemann’s putting throughout the week was measured and effective, rarely drawing attention but consistently doing its job.

Why This Bag Worked in Adelaide

What stood out about McIlroy’s winning setup wasn’t experimentation — it was confidence in familiar tools refined for a specific challenge.

Forgiving but fast woods for tight tee shots

A blended iron set for launch and control

A versatile wedge setup for creativity around the greens

A stable, trusted putter for pressure moments

It was a bag built for thinking golf, not just power golf — and Pebble Beach rewarded that approach.

Final Thoughts

Joaquín Niemann’s win at LIV Golf Adelaide 2025 was a reminder that success often comes from clarity and balance, not complexity. His WITB shows a player comfortable blending modern PING technology with traditional shot-making tools, choosing equipment that supports his strengths rather than chasing extremes.

In a high-energy environment on a demanding course, that balance proved decisive — and delivered another notable win for one of LIV Golf’s most consistent performers.
