Lim Sung-jae of Korean Golf 'Signal Star' will return to the KPGA stage. He will challenge the milestone of winning three consecutive championships. However, the competitor is powerful. It is Kim Baek-joon, who gained momentum by winning his first championship last week.
Lim Sung-jae will participate in the '2025 Woori Finance Championship' to be held at Seowon Valley Country Club in Paju, Gyeonggi-do from the 24th. In this tournament, Lim Sung-jae will challenge the milestone of winning three consecutive championships, and attention is being paid to whether he will write a new history in 26 years in the history of the Korean Professional Golfers Association (KPGA) Tour.
Lim Sung-jae impressed his fans by winning the Woori Finance Championship in 2023 and 2024 in a row. In particular, in the last competition, he showed off his ability as good as 'World Class' by winning a thrilling come-from-behind victory over a whopping five strokes in the final round.
The '2025 Woori Finance Championship' will be newly opened to Seowon Valley Country Club, and course changes are expected to act as another variable. Lim Sung-jae said, `Three consecutive wins at the Woori Finance Championship is a goal I really want to achieve. I would appreciate it if many fans visited the venue and cheered for me."
Recently, Lim Sung-jae tied for fifth place at the 89th Masters Tournament, breaking the record for the highest prize money ever for a Korean player with $32.94 million in total PGA Tour prize money. More attention is being paid to his three consecutive attempts, which have continued to rise.
Meanwhile, Kim Baek-joon, the winner of the 20th DB Insurance Promy Open last week, challenged Lim Sung-jae. Kim Baek-joon won his first career championship by two strokes over Lee Sang-hee and Ok Tae-hoon, who tied for second place, in the season opener with spirit and concentration that was not like a rookie in the second year of the tour.
Immediately after winning the championship, Kim Baek-joon said, `I didn't expect to win the opening game, but I'm really happy and proud of myself.' `My goal for the season is three wins, and I will try to win the Genesis Grand Prize and advance to the PGA Tour" he expressed his bold ambition.
Domestic golf fans are paying keen attention to whether Lim Sung-jae will secure the championship by winning three consecutive championships or rookie Kim Baek-joon will make a splash by winning two consecutive games of the season.
