This year, Kim Sunghyun has mainly competed on the Korn Ferry Tour, the second-tier tour of the PGA. In this season's Korn Ferry Tour, he has achieved one victory and two runner-up finishes, effectively securing promotion to the PGA regular tour for the 2026 season. Following a missed cut at the Farmers Insurance Open in January, this was his second appearance in a PGA regular tour event this season.

William Mouw of the United States, who debuted on the PGA Tour this year, surged to victory with a 9-under-par 61, finishing at 10-under-par 270 for a come-from-behind win. He claimed his first career title and received a winner's prize of $720,000 (about 1 billion won). Mouw first gained attention in January when he recorded an 'octuple bogey' by taking 13 shots to hole out from a 5.4-meter bunker on the par-5 16th hole during the second round of The American Express. Paul Peterson tied for second place at 9-under-par 271, while Chan Kim (also of the United States) finished tied for 14th at 3-under-par 277.
