[Golf Topic] World No.9 Scott "Returning at August PGA Championship"

[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ○…World No. 9 Adam Scott (Australia, photo) is finally returning to the PGA Tour.

On the 24th (Korean time), Scott announced through his agent that he will participate in the PGA Championship starting on the 6th of next month. After the first round of The Players Championship, known as the '5th Major,' was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic in March, he left the United States and is now returning to the PGA Tour after five months. Even after the tour resumed on the 11th of last month with the Charles Schwab Challenge, he delayed his comeback citing insufficient COVID-19 safety measures.

Initially, he considered playing in the World Golf Championships (WGC) FedEx St. Jude Invitational held on the 31st, but ultimately chose the major PGA Championship as his comeback stage. Among players ranked within the top 30 in the world, he is the last to return to the tour. Scott has won a total of 14 PGA Tour titles, including a victory at the Genesis Invitational in February. After the PGA Championship, he is expected to compete sequentially in the US Open in September and the Masters in November.
