[Golf Topic] Im Sung-jae 'Ranked 18th Among Players Expected to Shine Next Year'

[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ○…Im Sung-jae (22, CJ Logistics, photo) has been named one of the '30 players expected to perform well next year.'

The official website of the PGA Tour announced on the 30th (Korean time) the '30 players expected to participate in the 2021 Tour Championship,' ranking him 18th. The Tour Championship is a tournament limited to the top 30 in the FedEx rankings. It is an absolute standard to gauge current skill. He ranks higher than world No. 2 Jon Rahm (Spain), No. 6 Webb Simpson, 2018 Masters champion Patrick Reed, and this year's PGA Championship winner Collin Morikawa (all from the United States).

The PGA Tour website analyzed, "Im Sung-jae is an 'Iron Man' who has already played in eight tournaments this season and has earned a considerable amount of cash," adding, "He finished as runner-up at the Masters," while noting that "improving his short game around the greens, which is a weakness, remains a challenge." No. 1 Dustin Johnson (USA) topped the list. Bryson DeChambeau (USA), Viktor Hovland (Norway), Patrick Cantlay (USA), Rory McIlroy (Northern Ireland), and Justin Thomas (USA) are also among the top ranks.
