Kim Joo-hyung (20) has been selected as one of the five players most likely to secure their first-ever victory at one of the four major golf tournaments next year.

On the 30th (Korean time), Sports Illustrated introduced the five contenders aiming for their first major win next year, stating, "Although Kim Joo-hyung is only twenty years old, he possesses talent and strong mental fortitude, making him a worthy candidate for a major championship victory next year."

The publication also added, "Kim Joo-hyung's youthful boldness can be his greatest weapon in major tournaments, and his passion and clutch performance shown at the Presidents Cup are also remarkable." They highlighted the fact that all four major tournament winners this year were in their twenties.

Alongside Kim Joo-hyung, Will Zalatoris (USA), who has already finished runner-up three times in major tournaments, Patrick Cantlay (USA), who holds the highest world ranking (4th) among players without a major win, Tokyo Olympic gold medalist Xander Schauffele (USA), and Tony Finau (USA), who has exploded with potential by winning two consecutive tournaments this year, were also named as players with a strong chance of claiming their first major victory next year.
