Kim Seong-hyun, who obtained the first PGA Tour seed in his life with high grades on the Korn Ferry Tour (Part 2) in the 2021-2022 season, made a surprise performance by entering the top 4 after 3 games of his debut at the Shriners Children’s Open in October last year, following Kim Joo-hyung. It foreshadowed the birth of a large rookie. In addition, at the Sony Open, where he participated for the first time in the new year, he tried to win his first PGA Tour victory with stable performance throughout the four days. The result is a tie for 12th place.

In fact, Seong-hyun Kim’s performance was predicted even before the season. In the meantime, he has been active on tours in Korea and Japan, building solid skills and skills. Kim Seong-hyun, a former national representative, moved to Japan in 2019 and debuted on the Japan Professional Golf Tour (JGTO). However, when the Japanese tour was suspended in the aftermath of Corona 19 in 2020, he turned to Korea and enjoyed the joy of winning the KPGA Championship, which he participated in from the Monday qualifiers. In the 63-year history of the tournament, it was the first record of winning the preliminaries. He subsequently won the 2021 JGTO PGA Championship and then made a name for himself as a player who won both Korea and Japan championships at the same time.

He also recorded a dream score of 58 in the final round of the JGTO 2021 Golf Partners Pro-Am Tournament. Only Jim Furyk holds this record on the PGA Tour.

The next stage for ‘Rookie’ Kim Seong-hyun, who has rich experience, solid skills and deep inner workings, is the PGA American Express, which opens on the 20th (Korean time). I am looking forward to seeing what kind of performances Kim Seong-hyun will deliver in this competition.

All rounds of the tournament will be broadcast live by JTBC Golf & Sports. The first round will be broadcast live from 4:00 am on the 20th.
