‘30 Million Dollar Man’ Lim Seong-jae (27) attempts to win his third title on the PGA Tour. Starting on the 17th, it will appear at the American Express event held in La Quinta, California. Lim Seong-jae, who took third place at The Sentry in the season opener that ended on the 6th and earned $1.36 million, surpassed the $30 million mark with a total tour total of $31,259,508 (about KRW 45.7 billion).
Lim Seong-jae, ranked 19th in the world, the highest among domestic players, has established himself as a star player representing the tour, but is unable to quench his thirst for victory. There has been no win in over three years since the Honda Classic in March 2020 and the Shriners Children’s Open in October 2021. Last year, he participated in 26 competitions and ranked in the top 10 eight times, but did not come close to winning the championship.
This tournament is a golden opportunity for Lim Seong-jae, who has improved his game sense at The Sentry. The PGA Tour announced the power ranking predicting the winner of this tournament and placed Seongjae Lim in first place. He received high scores for his consistent performance, including attending this competition for the past six consecutive years and being ranked in the top 12 four times. Many major players did not participate in this tournament, with only Wyndham Clark (32), ranked 7th out of the top 10 in the world rankings, participating. If Seongjae Lim reaches the top of this competition and wins the prize money of $1,584,000, he will surpass Choi Gyeongju ($32,803,596) and become the No. 1 domestic player.
In this competition, rounds 1 to 3 are played alternately across three courses, and only the top 65 players make the cut and advance to the final round. Among domestic players, Kim Si-woo, the winner of this competition in 2021, Kim Joo-hyung, and Lee Gyeong-hoon will participate.
