WHAT THE STATS SUGGEST 

Last season, Torque was second in the league in driving distance but only ninth in driving accuracy. Adding Ancer, who ranked second in the league in driving accuracy (67.58%) will help their cause.  

WHERE CAN THEY IMPROVE? 

Torque has been one of the best teams in the league in terms of ball-striking but will need to improve their short game if they’re to challenge Legion XIII for the Team Championship. Last year, they ranked ninth in scrambling and seventh in putting. 

KEY QUOTES 

Joaquin Niemann on his 2025 season: “I was pretty satisfied. Winning five times is something that I look back now and I’m pretty proud of. It was pretty cool. But yeah, I feel that there’s a lot to improve. I had five wins, I only had six top 10s. I know the rest wasn’t as consistent. So, I feel like I can improve in that.”

Joaquin Niemann on the acquisition of Abraham Ancer: “Having Abe on the team, it’s great. He’s a great asset. He’s a great player. So, I’m pretty happy to have a 2026 season with Abraham now on the team.”

Abraham Ancer on joining Torque: “Joining Torque GC is an exciting next step, both personally and professionally. Competing as part of an all-Latin team alongside close friends, whom I admire on and off the golf course adds a layer of connection and purpose that I can’t wait to be a part of.” 

BOTTOM LINE 

With one of the most talented rosters in the league, anything short of a Team Championship finals appearance would be a disappointment for Torque. All four of their players should compete for individual titles and Niemann will look to finally earn his first Individual Championship. 

THREE BOLD PREDICTIONS 

Joaquin Niemann earns his best major championship finish. 

Torque wins three team titles.  

At least three different members of the team will have an individual victory.
