Jungwoo Ham, Now in High Demand, Set to Shine on the Big Stage

Jungwoo Ham is entering the big leagues.

On May 7 (local time), he will compete in LIV Golf Virginia at Trump National Golf Club in Washington, D.C., United States. The event has a total prize pool of 30 million dollars. Although the Public Investment Fund (PIF) of Saudi Arabia has announced it will stop its support for LIV Golf starting next year, creating an unsettled atmosphere, the league will continue to operate normally throughout this year.

Jungwoo Ham is a player who has achieved four career victories on the Korea Professional Golf Association (KPGA) Tour. He was named Rookie of the Year in 2018 and received the Genesis Award in 2023. In 2024, he has gained experience in various tours, including the Korn Ferry Tour—the second division of the PGA Tour in the United States—as well as the Asian Tour.

Last month, Jungwoo Ham won the Singapore Open (total prize money of 2 million dollars) held at the Serapong Course (par 71) of Sentosa Golf Club in Singapore. This tournament is part of the Asian Tour International Series. After claiming his first overseas tour victory there, he received a wildcard invitation from LIV Golf. He will only participate in the individual event, not in the team competition.

The tournament will also feature established members such as Byeonghun An, Younghan Song, Minkyu Kim, and New Zealand Korean Danny Lee. Although all are part of the Korean Golf Club, none have experienced a victory yet.
