[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ○..."See you at The CJ Cup."


'Major hunter' Brooks Koepka (USA, photo) is making his return to the PGA Tour. On the 8th (Korean time), he announced on social media, "I am happy to participate in The CJ Cup next week (total prize money $9.75 million)." He had not played since the Wyndham Championship in August due to a knee injury. "I have devoted the past two months to injury treatment," he said, adding, "I hope that every player participating can use this difficult time of 'COVID-19' as an opportunity to improve."



Koepka is a 'big match' player who has won 4 of his 7 PGA Tour victories in majors. His most recent win was the 2019 World Golf Championships (WGC) FedEx St. Jude Invitational in July. He has thrilling memories of winning The CJ Cup held in Korea in 2018. The tournament will be held for four days starting from the 15th at Shadow Creek Golf Course in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. Although it was held in Jeju Island for the past three years, this year the venue was moved to the United States due to 'COVID-19.'
