Siwoo Kim Returns for Fall Series Finale as a Strong Title Contender

Chasing Fifth Career Victory at the RSM Classic
Secured Tour Card by Finishing Inside Top 50 in FedExCup Standings
PGA Tour Website Predicts Strong Performance from Siwoo Kim

Siwoo Kim is returning to the stage of the PGA Tour.

The RSM Classic, the final tournament of the PGA Tour 2025 season, with a total prize pool of 7 million dollars, will be held at Sea Island Golf Club (par 70, 7,005 yards) in St. Simons Island, Georgia, United States, on November 20 (local time). The RSM Classic, the seventh event of the Fall Series, marks the conclusion of this season's PGA Tour. The results of this tournament will finalize the lower and middle ranks of the FedExCup standings.

Siwoo Kim is making his first appearance in a PGA Tour event in about a month since the Bankurant Classic, which concluded at Yokohama Country Club in Japan on October 12. He finished tied for 20th at the Bankurant Classic.

Siwoo Kim has already secured full PGA Tour status for next year. In August, he finished within the top 50 of the FedExCup standings at the time of the Tour Championship, the final event of the FedExCup Playoffs. The PGA Tour website has named Siwoo Kim as a strong contender for the title in this tournament, stating, "He will participate in this event without any pressure." Since claiming his fourth career win at the Sony Open in February 2023, Siwoo Kim has not captured another victory. This tournament presents an opportunity to end his winless streak.

Another Korean player, Byeonghun An, will also compete. He is currently ranked 77th in the FedExCup standings. Like Siwoo Kim, he has virtually secured his PGA Tour card for next year and will participate in this event. Adam Schenk of the United States, who won the Butterfield Bermuda Championship on the PGA Tour, will aim for back-to-back victories. Defending champion Maverick McNealy of the United States will not participate.
