[서울신문] Buy a house near Masters Field… Im Seong-jae “Next year will definitely be the champion”

The only Korean player to invite the next competition

Lim Seong-jae (22), who has confirmed consecutive appearances in the Masters Tournament, has been named on the list of 30 players who are expected to play in 2021 by the US Professional Golf (PGA) Tour. On the 30th (Korean time), PGA Tour.com selected and introduced 30 players who are expected to participate in the tour championship, which is the final match next year, and predicted that “Im Seongjae will compete for three years in a row next year.”

Among the PGA playoff schedules, the Tour Championship is the last tournament in which only 30th place in the FedEx rankings can be participated, and participants are evaluated as’Bokseok’. PGA Tour.com put Im Seong-jae in 18th place, saying, “He has already played eight competitions this season, and he has passed seven cuts and earned more than 1.3 million dollars in prize money. In the Masters, he even won second place,” he analyzed, “a challenge is to improve short game ability around the green, which is a weak point.”

Seongjae Lim recently bought a house on the TPC Sugar Loaf Course, a famous golf course in Duluth, outside Atlanta, Georgia. It is a position that is “all in all” when running on a tour. It is also considered the best place to cultivate the dream of becoming a Masters champion as it takes less than 2 hours and 30 minutes by car from Augusta, where the Masters is held.

He also received an invitation to the Masters next year, delivered last Christmas. There are 19 qualifications for the Masters in 2021, including past winners and major champions for the past five years.
