Lee Kyung-hoon and Lim Sung-jae will join the group and participate in the Charles Schwab Challenge (total prize money of $9.1 million) of the PGA Tour.

The two players will tee off as a group with Adam Svensson of Canada at 2:34 a.m. on Monday (Korea time) at the 10th hole of the Colonial Country Club (par 70 7,289 yards) in Fort Worth, Texas. Lee, who withdrew after the first round of the Major PGA Championship last week, has renewed his commitment. As he ranks 91st in the FedEx Cup, which has two top-10 records in the past 14 tournaments, he desperately needs an opportunity to turn around.

Lim Seong-jae should also get rid of his bad luck from last week's cutoff. He should continue his upward trajectory of the Wells Fargo Championship, which ranked fourth two weeks ago and showed the best performance this season. He returned to the PGA Tour after winning the championship in Korea, but he has already made five cuts this year, which is worrisome. He failed to make the cut last year, but showed good performance in the course, ranking 10th in 2020 and 15th in 2022.

World No. 1 golf player Scottie Scheffler, who suffered ups and downs such as being taken to the police station last week, will leave the first hole 11 minutes later at 2:45 a.m. with Billy Horschel and Keegan Bradley of the United States.

According to the tee time announced by the PGA Tour, among the five Korean players, Kim Sung-hyun will tee off with Garik Higo of South Africa and Sam Ryder of the U.S. at Hole 10 at 9 p.m. on Sunday. Kim, who is in her second year in the tour, made the top 10 only once at the CJ Cup in 17 competitions this season. The ranking at the FedEx Cup is currently down to 94th.
Kim Si-woo will start as a group with Justin Rose of England and Brian Harmon of the U.S. at 9:44 p.m. on the 23rd. Kim Joo-hyung, who tied for 26th at the last PGA Championship and was the best among Korean players, will tee off at 2:56 a.m. on the 24th with Tom Kogi and Chris Gotterup of the U.S.

Colonial was opened 88 years ago in 1936 with the design of John Breadmus and Perry Maxwell. Since the U.S. Open was held for the first time in the southern part of the U.S. in 1941, PGA Tour tournaments have continued every year until this year starting with Colonial Invitation in 1946.

The golf course has a long history with Ben Hogan. He tied for third at the U.S. Open in 1941 and won the title for the second consecutive time in 1946. He participated in a major car accident in 1949, and after rehabilitation, he added three more wins until 1952, 1953 and 1959. His 1959 victory became the last of his 64 PGA Tour wins, and the championship is nicknamed "Hogan's Little Path."

There is a statue of Hogan on the golf course, five trophies are displayed in the club house, chairs and keepsakes used by Hogan are displayed in the Pro Shop, and there is also a locker dedicated to Hogan. Except for Hogan's five wins, only 10 winners have two wins. Holes 3 to 5 of the course are nicknamed "terrible horse hooves" because they are a series of difficult holes that rotate counterclockwise around the driving range.

The total prize money for this year's competition was 9.1 million dollars, up 400,000 dollars from last year. Korean American Kevin Na won in 2019, and Yu Chang-soo finished second in 2011 when he lost to David Toms by one stroke. Sam Burns won the title two years ago after overtime with Schaeffler, and Emiliano Grillo of Argentina will defend the title this year.메이저사이트
