Lim Sung-jae (27), who lost his pride after failing to make the cut in the competition, which was considered the favorite to win, is seeking to recover his honor.
Im Sung-jae will participate in the Farmers Insurance Open (total prize money of $9.3 million) of the PGA Tour, which will be held at Torrey Pines Golf Course (par 72) in San Diego, California from the 22nd (Korea time).
It is the third competition in which Lim Sung-jae will compete this year.
Im Sung-jae started this season through PGA Tour opener The Sentry, which started in a good mood by ranking third.
Im Sung-jae hit 60s for three consecutive days in the opening game, and hit 29 under par in the final. Notably, he showed off his sophisticated shot sense by playing 11 under par in the third round.
After taking a week off, Lim Sung-jae participated in The American Express on the 16th and tried to win. At that time, Lim Sung-jae received attention as a favorite, ranking No. 1 in the power rankings.
However, Im Sung-jae's performance was not as good as expected. Im Sung-jae got off to a worst start on the first day at 5-over par. On the second day, he displayed concentration and reduced seven pars, but lost face when he failed to make the cut.
It was an unwanted result for Lim Sung-jae, who strengthened his will to "achieve three career wins this season" after the opening game.
Lim Sung-jae, who rearranged his battle after being eliminated early, is now aiming for a rebound in the atmosphere at the Farmers Insurance Open, which has good memories. 먹튀검증
Lim previously performed well at the tournament by tying for sixth in 2022 and fourth in 2023. Since the event will take place at the same course as last time, Lim can confidently participate in the event. In addition, it is an opportunity to express his regret that he failed to make the cut at the event last year.
If Lim Sung-jae succeeds in rebounding and achieves three career wins, he will surpass the PGA Tour prize money of living legend Choi Kyung-ju (55).
Lim Sung-jae ranked third alone in The Sentry, adding $1.36 million to his total prize money of $31,259,508, becoming the second Korean player to surpass $30 million after Choi Kyung-ju (32,803,596).
If Lim Sung-jae wins this tournament, he can win at least $1.62 million in prize money and break Choi Kyung-ju's record.
In order to win the title, the Korean team needs to overcome challenging competitors. Participants include Hideki Matsuyama of Japan, Ludwig Arberg of Sweden, Gunn Bradley and Sahis Tigala of the U.S., who won the title at The Sentry.
Among the Korean players, Lee Kyung-hoon (34), Kim Si-woo (30), and Kim Sung-hyun (27) will participate.
