The significance of this competition is that the Honda Classic will disappear at the end of this year. This year’s event will be held as the last Honda Classic as the title sponsor, Japanese automobile company Honda, has decided not to take on sponsorship from next year. Since this is a regular tournament, all top 10 players in the world will play without it. Eight players within the top 50 in the golf world will participate.
Lim Seong-jae, ranked 18th in the world rankings announced on the 20th, has the highest ranking in this tournament. Im Seong-jae, who recently finished in the top 10, including a tie for 4th at the Farmers Insurance Open and a tie for 6th at the WM Phoenix Open, is maintaining a steady upward trend. Adding to this atmosphere, the PGA Tour placed Lim Seong-jae at number one in the power rankings of the Honda Classic. The PGA Tour highly praised Im Seong-jae, saying, “It has been heating up in earnest since the end of July of last year. He has already achieved considerable success on the PGA National Champion Course,” and “No weaknesses and impeccably balanced.” .
Shane Lowry (Ireland), Billy Horschel (USA), and Matt Kuchar (USA) participated in this competition, and Ahn Byeong-hun, Noh Seung-yeol, Kim Seong-hyun, and Kang Seong-hun also threw a challenge.
