With rumors continuing to swirl as to who may be heading to LIV Golf following the TOUR Championship this week, one player admitted to being undecided.

After posting a 3-under 67 at the TOUR Championship Friday, Joaquin Niemann said he hasn't determined whether he'll join Greg Norman's Saudi-backed series.

"Obviously, there's some things I've got to see first," Niemann said, according to Golf Channel's Ryan Lavner. "But I'm not thinking about that right now. I want to finish the playoffs and then see what my decision will be."

Niemann entered the week at No. 19 on the FedEx Cup standings and No. 18 in the Official World Golf Rankings.

He started this week's tournament at 2-under and currently sits alone in sixth at 11-under, eight strokes back of leader Scottie Scheffler.

Reports last week indicated that seven players are expected to join the LIV Golf series following the conclusion of the TOUR Championship. The new additions would come just in time for the rival series' event in Boston that runs from Sept. 2-4.

One of the seven golfers is reportedly Open Champion Cameron Smith, who is also playing at this week's TOUR Championship. Smith started the tournament at 4-under and is tied for 15th at 6-under after two rounds.
