Former PGA Tour pro and now looper Willy Wilcox works for Sungjae Im. And overnight, Australian time, the caddie revealed the ‘recurring nightmare’ that has him tossing and turning at night.
While the Ryder Cup is one of the biggest events in golf, Im and Kim are playing for something far bigger this week at the Asian Games: military exemptions.
Sungjae I’m wasn’t in Dallas for the PGA Tour event, he was halfway across the globe in South Korea, his home country. And he wasn’t just there because he was feeling homesick, Im was there to win a damn golf tournament.
The Masters is not one for the faint-hearted and the Korean star, who is a two-time PGA Tour winner, knows that his proven track record at the fabled venue will make him a worthy contender.
It has been a happy year to remember for Asian golf after standout performances and historic achievements by the game’s best from the Far East as they continue to stamp their mark on the globe’s elite playground, the PGA Tour.
Upon learning Im had finally bought a house in Atlanta at the end of 2020, many thought he might slow down his schedule. Well, those many people were wrong.
Sungjae Im and Si Woo Kim both didn’t medal at the Olympics and thus failed to exempt themselves from South Korea’s mandatory military service requirement.
