This year, he has participated in 19 tournaments and entered the 'top 10' five times.

Among LIV Golf members, Bryson DeChambeau (USA) ranked 9th, and Jon Rahm (Spain) was 10th. For Korea, Kim Joo-hyung held 17th place. An Byeong-hun was 30th, and Kim Si-woo was positioned at 50th. Davis Thompson (USA), who won his first career title at the John Deere Classic, jumped from 70th last week to 38th.
