Kim Young-su won the Genesis Championship last year and received the award, taking home two cars. He laughed, "I drive one, and I gave the other as a gift to my parents." Kim Young-su will compete against caddie Kim Jae-min, who carried his bag last year. This year, Kim Jae-min qualified as a recommended player. Kim Young-su said, "Not only last year's win but also when I played on the European Tour, he helped me as a caddie," and added, "Genesis gave a great opportunity this time, and I hope Kim Jae-min learns as much as possible and enjoys playing." Kim Young-su's older brother will serve as his caddie in this tournament.
