PGA Tour Ends Saturday, Not Sunday

The schedule for the Professional Golfers' Association (PGA) Tour Farmers Insurance Open (total prize money of $9.3 million) is unusual.
This year, the event will take place at Torrey Pines Golf Course (par 72) in San Diego, California for four days from Tuesday (local time). The event will be held with an unusual schedule, which opens on Wednesday and ends on Saturday, local time. This is due to the influence of the NFL, which is enjoying immense popularity in the U.S. No other sports can compete with each other. The PGA Tour event ends on Saturday to avoid overlapping the dates of the finals of the two major conferences of the NFL. The team has been making strategic choices since 2022.
The upcoming competition will take place in two courses. The two teams will play the first and second rounds alternately at Torrey Pines South Course (par 72, 7,765 yards) and North Course (par 72, 7,258 yards). The third and fourth rounds will be held only at the South Course. 먹튀검증 The South Course, which is also the venue for the U.S. Open, has longer and more difficult battlegrounds than the North Course. The South Course is different by more than three to four pars. The South Korean team should reduce the number of pars as much as possible at the North Course and make sure not to lose pars at the South Course.
A total of four Korean players will participate in the event. Lim Sung-jae is recovering his fame. He ranked third in the opening game of the Sentry this year and took a light step forward to compete in the next event, American Express, but failed to make the cut. He failed to overcome his slump by throwing three balls into the water on the first day of the championship, in which he shot a five-over 77.
Im Sung-jae has many good memories at the Torrey Pines Golf Course, where the Farmers Insurance Open will be held. He has advanced to the finals for five times in six competitions, and ranked fourth in 2023, following sixth in 2002. If Im Sung-jae wins, Korean fans will be able to watch him win on Sunday morning from their home turf. If he wins, he will also be able to break Choi's record for the largest amount of money in a Korean PGA tour. In addition to Im Sung-jae, Kim Si-woo, Lee Kyung-hoon and Kim Sung-hyun will play for Korea.
