Im Sung-jae took charge of driver shots, while Kim Si-woo focused on approach shots around the green. After demonstrating themselves, they checked and corrected the junior players' swings. Im Sung-jae said, "This was the first time since turning pro that I spent time like this with junior players. I regret not being able to provide longer one-on-one coaching, but if there is another opportunity, I want to give more detailed guidance." Kim Si-woo also shared, "Meeting these junior hopefuls brought back memories and was very pleasant. I hope to see the juniors we met today succeed and compete together on the U.S. stage."

Locker Room with TEAMCJ is CJ’s social contribution program supporting promising players who have talent and passion and dream of becoming the global ‘Number 1.’ It consists of programs and mentoring that provide practical help to athletes.
