Players using Titleist golf balls are confident of winning again this year. Seo Yo-seop (26), ranked No. 1 in the Order of Merit, said, "The Genesis Championship is a tournament every player wants to win," adding, "Since there is also an opportunity to experience overseas tours, I will do my best." Lee Hyung-jun (30), who won last week’s Hyundai Marine & Fire Insurance KJ Invitational, said, "Playing around the greens is especially important at this course," and boasted, "Titleist golf balls provide perfect performance in the short game."
Defending champion Lee Jae-kyung (23) said, "Winning here requires meticulous course strategy," and expressed confidence in a consecutive win, saying, "I will focus only on my play with firm trust in my equipment."
