The Masters Tournament begins on the night of the 6th (Korean time) at Augusta National Golf Club (par 72) in Augusta, Georgia, USA. In the tournament grouping announced on the 5th, Kim Joo-hyung will play with Rory McIlroy and Sam Burns (USA). Kim Joo-hyung, who has been receiving a lot of spotlight while participating in practice with Tiger Woods (USA) and McIlroy before the tournament, is expected to draw great attention as he is organized in a group with McIlroy in the tournament. After Kim Joo-hyung played with McIlroy at The CJ Cup in October of last year, they became very close based on their high affinity, and McIlroy also showed a care for Kim Joo-hyung, who is considered the ‘rising star’ of the PGA Tour.
This tournament is attracting more attention as players who joined LIV Golf, which was launched last year, compete with the American Professional Golf (PGA) tour group. For this reason, attention is focused on the group in which the LIV group and the PGA Tour group play together. Among them, Kim Si-woo was organized into a group that will receive a lot of attention. He will play with Phil Mickelson, the representative golfer of the LIV wave, and play against Tom Hoggy (USA). In addition, Lim Seong-jae, ranked 10th in the PGA Tour’s power rankings, will also play with LIV Fine Cameron Smith (Australia). Hideki Matsuyama (Japan) was also in the same group.
