“This is how you celebrate!” – Fans react to Joaquin Niemann’s Torque GC’s champagne spray celebration at LIV Golf Andalucia

Joaquin Niemann-led Torque GC won the LIV Golf Andalucia team title, beating RangeGoats GC by a 5-stroke margin. This was Torque GC's third LIV Golf title of the 2023 season.

Sebastian Munoz finished fourth with an aggregate of 6-under, while David Puig finished fifth at Real Club Valderrama.

Torque GC teammates celebrated their back-to-back victory on Saudi backed circuit in style. Munoz, Puig, Mito Pereira, and Captain Niemann popped open the champagne and sprayed it on each other, including their respective caddies.

Champagne spraying has become quite a tradition at the Saudi-backed circuit events, and this was the third time Torque GC was following the tradition. However, a few players could be seen struggling with opening the champagne bottle in the video.
