Kim Joo-hyung (22) is trying to win his third consecutive PGA Tour tournament.
Kim Joo-hyung will participate in the PGA Tour Shriners Children's Open (total prize money of $7 million) at TPC Summerlin (par 71) in Las Vegas, Nevada, for four days from the 17th (local time).
Kim Joo-hyung, who has three wins on the tour, has harvested his second and third wins in the tournament over the past two years.
At the time of winning in 2022, he won at the age of 20 years and 3 months, recording a record of reaching the top of two wins faster than Tiger Woods (20 years and 9 months), the "golf emperor."
Last year, he succeeded in defending his first title and became the youngest champion in more than 110 years on the PGA Tour.
Kim Joo-hyung, who became the second Korean player to win two consecutive PGA Tour tournaments, is now trying to win three consecutive unanswered games.
In the PGA Tour, three consecutive tournaments have not been won in more than 10 years since Steve Stricker (USA) of the Zondier Classic in 2009-2011.
Kim participated in 23 competitions this season and was listed in the top 10 twice. His best performance was in second place at the Travelers Championship in June.
In addition, Lee Kyung-hoon and Kim Sung-hyun were listed in the entry as South Korean players.
They are determined to achieve good results in this competition and attract FedEx Cup ranking points.
The Shriners Children's Open is the fourth edition of the eight fall PGA Tour series. Players must rank within the top 125 in the FedEx Cup by the end of the series to participate in the PGA Tour next year.
Lee Kyung-hoon, who is ranked 100th at the FedEx Cup, is set to enter the double-digit rankings, while Kim Sung-hyun is in desperate need of a rebound as he has fallen to 123rd. Kim Ju-hyung is stable at 55th. 안전놀이터
