Lee Kyung-hoon "QBE Shootout Entry"... 'Partner is Korners'

Starting from the 9th (local time), Lee Kyung-hoon will team up with Corey Conners (Canada) to compete in the QBE Shootout, held over three days at Tiburon Golf Club (par 72, 7,382 yards) in Naples, Florida, USA. This is a PGA Tour event. Ten players ranked within the top 50 in the world will participate, promising to quench fans' "competition thirst" during the PGA Tour break.


On the first day, both players in the same team tee off, then select the ball in the better position, and proceed with the next shot within one club length from that spot, not closer to the hole. On the second day, both players tee off, select the ball in the better position, and then alternate shots from the second shot onward. On the final day, both players play with their own balls, and the better score on each hole counts as the team's score.


Last year, Lee Kyung-hoon teamed up with Brant Snedeker (USA) and finished tied for 11th place. This year, 12 teams will participate. Female players Nelly Korda and Lexi Thompson (both USA) will also appear. Korda is paired with Danny McCarthy, and Thompson with Maverick McNealy (both USA).


Defending champions Kevin Na and Jason Kokrak (both USA) will not participate this year as they have moved to the LIV Invitational Golf Series sponsored by Saudi Arabian capital. Harris English and Matt Kuchar (both USA), who won in 2013, 2016, and 2020, are aiming for their fourth victory. Max Homa and Kevin Kisner (both USA) are strong contenders for the championship.
