‘New groom’ Kim Si-woo (28, CJ Logistics), who hit the ‘1.7 billion jackpot’ on a honeymoon trip to Hawaii, entered the top 50 in the world rankings.
Kim Si-woo ranked 41st in the weekly men’s golf world rankings announced on the 16th (Korean time). It jumped 43 places from last week’s 84th place. The driving force behind the rise in the rankings was the come-from-behind victory at the PGA Tour Sony Open, which ended on the 16th.
If you enter the top 50 in the world rankings, you will be given a privilege to participate in most of the special competitions, such as major competitions, where separate qualifications are restricted. That’s why the PGA Tour also classifies players within the top 50 as an ‘elite group’.
Among Korean players, Kim Joo-hyung (21) kept the top spot at 14th. Lim Seong-jae (25, CJ Logistics), who was eliminated from the cut at the Sony Open along with Kim Joo-hyung, also maintained his 19th place as he did last week.바카라
