Rather than thinking that we are chasing the lead by 8 strokes

wouldn’t it be enough to compete for the championship if we enjoy each day and accumulate good results?

Lim Seong-jae (CJ Logistics)

who has been participating in the PGA Tour season finale tour championship for five consecutive years 지울프-토토

where only 30 players can participate

had an online video conference with Korean media on the night of the 23rd (Korean time) and said

Every year 30 It’s really hard to be in the top

but I’m so happy to continue to play for 5 years

he said. 

The story of participating in the Tour Championship for 5 consecutive years is the story of consistently producing results for 5 years. 

The 5th appearance is the most ever recorded by a Korean player, surpassing Choi Gyeong-joo’s 4th.

Im Seong-jae passed the cut 23 times in 29 competitions this season and entered the top 10 9 times. Top 25 was 17 times.

 However

in May

after winning the Korea Professional Golf (KPGA) Korean Tour Woori Financial Championship

he returned to the PGA Tour and suffered a sudden slump.

 He was cut off 5 times in 9 events in about two months from the PGA Championship.

Lim Seong-jae said

I was tired after coming back from Korea

so my swing balance and shot feel fell

especially the tee shot accuracy.

turned on

Lim Seong-jae tied for 14th at the Wyndham Championship in August

the final match of the regular season

tied for 6th at the FedEx St.

Jude Championship in the first leg of the playoffs

and tied for 7th at the BMW Championship in the second leg

grabbing a ticket to the tour championship.

If the lack of a championship this season is a flaw

it’s a shame. 

However

Lim Seong-jae said

I don’t have a championship

but I think I did well enough because I finished in the top 10 9 times.

Im Seong-jae

who reported his first PGA victory at the Honda Classic in February 2020

won two career victories at the Shriners Children’s Open in October 2021.

 He wished he had won his three career victories sooner than that, but it’s getting late. 

However

Lim Seong-jae said

It would be nice to win soon

but rather than thinking like that

I think I can win the championship someday if I keep my sense of the moment and continue to compete.

I think we can compete

he said.

Lim Seong-jae emphasized that he prefers to consistently produce results rather than winning.

 Lim Seong-jae said

It’s important to win

but I don’t think it’s good to fluctuate too much after winning.

 At the same time

he added

If you consistently perform in the top 10

you will be recognized more among the players as ‘a player who can do well and win at any time’.

The Tour Championship earns bonus strokes based on the FedEx Cup points standings accumulated during the season. 

FedEx Cup ranking No. 1 Scotty Scheffler (USA) starts the first round at 10 under par

while Im Seong-jae 17th place, starts at 2 under par. 

The same goes for Kim Joo-hyeong (Nike Golf)

who is also participating, and Kim Si-woo (CJ Logistics), who is 20th.

In last year’s tournament

Lim Seong-jae started the tournament with a 4-under par at 10th place in the rankings and tied for runner-up by one stroke with the leader. 

Im Seong-jae said, “It is a course that requires patience. 

The fairway is tight and the rough lie is not good, so the tee shot seems to be the most important.” If you create a birdie chance, you will be able to achieve good results.”

It is the first time that three Korean players are participating in this tournament, where only 30 players are allowed to participate. 

Lim Seong-jae said, “I wonder what the three of us will do because they seem to be doing well mentally and technically, not lagging behind other players.”

Im Seong-jae especially said of Kim Joo-hyung, “It is great that he entered the PGA Tour at the age of 20, and it is even more amazing that he won two championships right away. 

He said, “I am a junior, but I respect him.

 It makes me feel that I have to keep working hard. 

It seems to give each other strength.”

Lim Seong-jae will also participate in the Asian Games in Hangzhou in September.

 He was together with Kim Si-woo, amateur national team member Jang Yu-bin, and Jo Woo-young. 

Lim Seong-jae said, “All four players are in good condition, so if we take good care of them for a month, we will be able to win a gold medal in the team event.”

How would you feel if you reached the top of the Tour Championship and won $18 million in prize money? 

Lim Seong-jae said, “Being the best in a season is the best career.

 He said

I don’t think I’ll do anything right away just because I get 18 million dollars

but I think I’ll be surprised when I look at my bank account.”
