Must be in the top 30 of the FedEx Cup rankings to advance to the final round
An Byeong-hun and Kim Si-woo, who passed the first round of PO, will also be dispatched
Sungjae Im is aiming to advance to the final round of the PGA Tour Playoffs for the sixth consecutive year.
Seongjae Im will compete in the BMW Championship (total prize money of 20 million dollars, approximately 26.7 billion won), the second round of the PGA Tour PO, held at the Castle Pines Golf Club (par 72) in Castle Rock, Colorado, USA for four days starting on the 22nd (local time).
Seongjae Im, who tied for 40th in the first round of the PO, dropped from 9th to 10th in the FedEx Cup rankings, but earned a spot in the second round of the PO, which is given to the top 50 players.
If Sungjae Im is ranked within the top 30 of the FedEx Cup rankings after the second round of the PO, he will advance to the Tour Championship, the final third round of the PO for the sixth consecutive year.
Seongjae Im also said in January, ahead of the start of the PGA Tour, that his biggest goal for the season was to compete in the Tour Championship for the sixth consecutive year.
An Byeong-hun and Kim Si-woo, who passed the first round of the PO, are also competing to win tickets to the final round. An Byeong-hun, who tied for 33rd place in the first round, is ranked 15th in the FedEx Cup rankings, while Kim Si-woo, who tied for 50th place, is ranked 44th.
This tournament is expected to be fiercer than ever before among the top-ranked players. This is because bonus strokes are awarded to players who participate in the final round of the PO based on their FedEx Cup rankings. The 1st place in the FedEx Cup rankings will start the final round at 10-under par, the 2nd place at 8-under par, and the 3rd place at 7-under par.
Scotty Schaeffler (USA, 6,533 points), ranked No. 1 in the men’s golf world, is currently ranked No. 1 in the FedEx Cup rankings. No. 2 Xander Schauffele (USA, 5,037 points) is aiming to take the top spot in the second round of the PO. The winner of this tournament will be awarded 2,000 FedEx Cup points.
In addition, Hideki Matsuyama (Japan, 3rd), who rose to the top in the first round of the PO, Colin Morikawa (USA), 4th in the FedEx Cup rankings, and Rory McIlroy (Northern Ireland), 5th, are challenging for the championship.
