Two Korean golfers, Kim Si-woo and Tom Kim, are set to compete in the prestigious PGA Tour playoff finale this week, with a staggering $10 million prize at stake. The event will take place at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, commencing on Thursday. Only the top 30 players, determined by their FedEx Cup points following the BMW Championship last week, have earned their spots in the tournament.
Interestingly, both Kims are making their return to the Tour Championship following a gap of over two years. Kim Si-woo, currently ranked fifth in the FedEx Cup standings, is the sole player in that category without a victory this season. He has, however, achieved 11 top-10 finishes, placing him second to world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler who has a dozen top-10 finishes to his name. In terms of consistency, Kim Si-woo has led the tour with an impressive 51 rounds in the 60s and a remarkable 62 under-par rounds.
On the other hand, Tom Kim, the only Korean player to secure a PGA Tour win this year, claimed the Genesis Scottish Open title in July, marking his first victory since October 2023. Currently, he stands at 29th in the FedEx Cup points after the BMW Championship.
