Three Korean golfers, Kim Si-woo, Tom Kim, and Im Sung-jae, will participate in the inaugural leg of the PGA Tour playoffs this week. The FedEx St. Jude Championship will kick off Thursday at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee. This marks the initial of three FedEx Cup playoff events, with the top 70 players from the FedEx Cup rankings eligible to compete.
The top 50 players following this week's tournament will qualify for the subsequent stop, the BMW Championship at Bellerive Country Club in St. Louis. After the second event, the top 30 players will advance to the concluding tournament, the Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta.
Kim Si-woo, ranked seventh, and Tom Kim, ranked 26, are firmly positioned within the top 50 and are expected to progress through the first round. In contrast, Im Sung-jae, who is ranked 53rd, will need a stellar performance to secure a place among the top 50 and maintain his quest to play in seven consecutive Tour Championships. Kim Si-woo has emerged as one of the most consistent golfers on the tour this season, currently holding the highest ranking among the three Koreans.
