Tony Finau, Xander Chopley, Jordan Spieth (USA) and Rory McIlroy (Northern Ireland) in the third match between Max Homa (USA), John Rahm (Spain) and Scotty Scheffler (USA) was selected as a strong candidate to compete for the Genesis Invitational (total prize money of 20 million dollars).

Prior to the opening of the Genesis Invitational, which is two days away on the 15th (Korean time), the American Professional Golf (PGA) Tour unveiled a power ranking to predict the winning candidate, and placed the name of 2021 winner Homa at the top. Then, Lam, who is ranked 3rd in the world, and Schaeffler, who is 1st in the world, were predicted to be strong candidates for the championship as 2nd and 3rd respectively. All of them are winners with at least one win in the most recent competition. 안전놀이터

This tournament will be held without a defending champion as Joaquin Nieman (Chile), who won last year, moved to the LIV Golf Invitational Series.

This season alone, Homa is showing the best results since his debut, including two victories at the Fortinet Championship in September last year and the Farmers Insurance Open two weeks ago.

The PGA Tour predicted, “Homa, who achieved his second win of the season with a come-from-behind victory at the Farmers Insurance Open two weeks ago, will be able to comfortably participate in this week’s tournament.”

The top 10 contenders for the championship were Homa, Schaeffler, Tony Finau (4th), Zander Chopley (5th), Jordan Spieth (6th), Colin Morikawa (8th), and Patrick Cantley (10th). Up to the above), there are 7 American players, the most, and only 3 non-American players: Ram (2nd place), McIlroy (7th place from Northern Ireland), and Victor Hoblan (Norway, 9th place). Next are Justin Thomas (USA), Justin Rose (England), Adam Scott (Australia), Matthew Fitzpatrick (England) and Seamus Power (Ireland).

Among the 15 candidates for the championship, not a single Korean player was named.

Korean players are Kim Joo-hyung (21), Lim Seong-jae (25), Lee Kyung-hoon (32), Kim Si-woo (25), Kim Seong-hyun (25), and last year’s KPGA Korean Tour Genesis Championship winner Kim Young-soo (34) invited to participate.
