Im Sung-jae, a veteran on the Korean PGA Tour, will represent the International Team at the upcoming Presidents Cup. Geoff Ogilvy, the captain of the International Team, chose Im and five other golfers on Tuesday, U.S. time. These selections joined six players who qualified automatically based on their world ranking positions. The Presidents Cup, a biennial match play tournament, pits the International Team against the U.S. side.
This year's event will take place at Medinah Country Club in Medinah, Illinois, from September 24 to 27. Im will be one of three Koreans on the International Team. Kim Si-woo and Tom Kim, also PGA Tour members, were among the automatic qualifiers, with Kim Si-woo holding the top spot at No. 13 in the latest world rankings. Im, currently ranked No. 57, has been a consistent player for the Korean PGA Tour since becoming Rookie of the Year in the 2018-2019 season.
Although he missed the first two months of 2023 due to a wrist injury, he has since posted five top-10 finishes in 22 starts.
