Farmers Insurance Open 6 Consecutive Years Participation
Last Year Tied 4th Place, 2 Consecutive Years in 'Top 10'
Homa, Schauffele, Lee Kyeonghun, Kim Seonghyeon Compete for Victory
World No. 28 Im Sung-jae likes Torrey Pines Golf Course (par 72, 7,765 yards), a prestigious golf course in San Diego, California. This is why he attends the PGA Tour Farmers Insurance Open (total prize money $9 million) held at this course every year. He has entered the 2024 tournament, which opens on the 24th (local time), for the sixth time.
Im Sung-jae has performed well at Torrey Pines. As a rookie in 2019, he finished tied for 52nd, but gradually improved to tied for 36th in 2020 and tied for 32nd in 2021. In 2022, he finished tied for 6th, and in 2023, tied for 4th, making the top 10 for two consecutive years. The PGA Tour website ranked Im Sung-jae as the 5th favorite to win. He has started this season strong, finishing tied for 5th at the ‘Tournament of Champions’ The Sentry and tied for 25th at last week’s American Express. Above all, his consistent performance is impressive.

Korea will also be represented by Lee Kyoung-hoon and Kim Sung-hyun alongside Im Sung-jae. Lee Kyoung-hoon, who played in this tournament in 2019 and 2020, said, “It’s a difficult course, so even with good shots, there were many cases of missing the greens,” and predicted, “Short game and putting will determine the results.” Defending champion Max Homa and world No. 5 Xander Schauffele (both from the U.S.) are the contenders for the title. Nick Dunlap (U.S.), who won the American Express as an amateur, withdrew to spend time with his family.
