[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] Kim Si-woo (27··photo) is expected to transfer to the LIV Golf Invitational Series sponsored by Saudi Arabian capital.
The American business magazine Forbes mentioned Kim Si-woo in an article titled "PGA Tour players likely to move to LIV Golf" on the 27th (local time). The list includes Cameron Smith, Marc Leishman, Jason Day (all from Australia), Hideki Matsuyama (Japan), Harold Varner III, Cameron Tringale, Cameron Young (all from the United States), Anirban Lahiri (India), Kim Si-woo, Jonathan Vegas (Venezuela), Joaquin Niemann, and Mito Pereira (both from Chile).
If Kim Si-woo moves to LIV Golf as Forbes speculates, he will be the first Korean player to transfer. Currently, Korean-American players Kevin Na and Kim Si-hwan (both from the United States) are playing in LIV Golf. Kim Si-woo has won three times on the PGA Tour. His most recent victory was the American Express in January last year. He finished the 2021/2022 PGA Tour season ranked 57th in the FedEx Cup standings. He will participate in the Shinhan Donghae Open held in Japan in early September.
