[mdtoday = Reporter Minseok Choi] After a week off, Si Woo Kim returns to chase his first victory of the season at the PGA Tour\u2019s marquee event, The Memorial Tournament. The tournament runs June 4\u20137 at Muirfield Village Golf Club (par 72) in Dublin, Ohio, with a 20 million USD (approximately 26.7 billion KRW) purse.<\/p>\n

Si Woo Kim has been at his most consistent this season. In 15 starts he\u2019s posted seven top-10s, including two runner-up finishes and two third-place results, and has been in contention at nearly every event. At last month\u2019s CJ Cup Byron Nelson he remained among the leaders through the final day but was overtaken by Wyndham Clark and settled for second. After skipping the Charles Schwab Challenge to rest, Kim is looking to get back to the top this week.PGA Tour listed Kim as the No. 2 favorite in its tournament preview, noting, “Among players without a win this season, Kim currently holds the highest FedExCup ranking (No. 5) and has recorded the most top-10s since his tour debut.” That puts him ahead of established names such as Rory McIlroy and Cameron Young; only world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler was cited ahead of him among title favorites. Kim\u2019s most recent victory came at the Sony Open in January 2023, giving him four career wins.<\/p>\n

Sungjae Im will also tee it up this week, aiming to climb the FedExCup standings. After a two-month layoff early in the season for a wrist injury, Im is fighting to preserve his streak of Tour Championship appearances that dates back to 2019 \u2014 only the top 30 in the FedExCup qualify for the Tour Championship.<\/p>\n

Im has three top-10s in 11 starts this season but has been inconsistent recently, alternating missed cuts with stronger showings. Sitting 57th in the FedExCup, this event represents a pivotal opportunity for him to move back up the leaderboard.Meanwhile, world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler is going for a third straight Memorial title and his second win of the season. Tiger Woods remains the only player to win the tournament three consecutive years (1999\u20132001). Matt Fitzpatrick is chasing his fourth victory of the season, and Russell Henley is attempting to extend his hot streak with back-to-back wins.Separately, LIV Golf shifts to Spain this week. The LIV Golf Andaluc\u00eda runs June 4\u20137 at Real Club Valderrama in Andalusia, where Byeonghun An, Younghan Song, Mingyu Kim and Doyup Moon will compete, each aiming to become the first Korean winner on the LIV circuit. Joaquin Niemann, the Busan event champion, is seeking consecutive titles.<\/p>\n
