The three-time PGA Tour winner finished T21 overall at the 2025 Genesis Championship on debut.
Kim has the form to go all the way and win the title in front of his home fans this weekend.
Sungjae Im
Sungjae Im has found consistency on the PGA Tour in his last five starts, placing T15 at the Rocket Classic, T14 at the Wyndham Championship, T5 at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, T10 at the BMW Championship, and T9 at the recent Baycurrent Classic.
Additional highlights from Im's year include T4 at the Valspar Championship, T5 at the Truist Championship, T9 at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson and T14 at the Open Championship.
