Kim Joo-hyung is one of the players that the global golf world is paying attention to beyond Korea. This is because he won two PGA Tour wins in 2022 when he participated with a special temporary membership and added one win the following year. At that time, Kim Joo-hyung drew attention as a special rising star to succeed Tiger Woods (USA), the “golf emperor.” However, Kim Joo-hyung received a disappointing report card that ranked 94th in the FedEx Cup last year. Kim Joo-hyung’s world ranking, once ranked 11th, fell to 141st.<\/p>\n

It is a situation that can be frustrating, but Kim Joo-hyung clenched his teeth. Dreaming of a day when he rises to the top again, he is working hard to practice with the idea that making perfect is a constant effort. Kim Joo-hyung, who met at TPC Craig Ranch in McKinney, Texas, on the 20th (local time), a day before the opening of The CJ Cup Byron Nelson, said, “I’m fighting myself with the goal of increasing my performance every tournament. As I can feel that it is getting better little by little, I will continue to prepare well in the future,” he said.<\/p>\n

Kim Joo-hyung, who is famous for practicing a lot on the PGA Tour. On this day, he spent nearly 10 hours at TPC Craig Ranch. When I asked if it was difficult to repeat boring training, the answer came back different from what I expected. Kim Joo-hyung said, “I enjoy spending time at the practice range because I like research,” adding, “Sometimes I don’t want to do it, but when I go to the practice range with all my heart, I’m focusing on golf without even realizing it.”<\/p>\n

Kim’s mood is not bad these days. Tied for sixth place in the Little Beach Classic, which ended on the 7th, he is regaining the feeling of 2022 when golf went well. Kim Joo-hyung said, “There is no perfect golf, but I’m trying to get closer,” adding, “Nothing happens in a day.” As I know this better than anyone else, I’m doing my best every day,” he stressed.<\/p>\n

Kim Joo-hyung, who has a lot of shots such as drivers and irons, has been investing a lot of time in putts recently. “We decided that we need to increase the birdie success rate in order to put our name in the top ranks,” he said. “We are paying special attention to reducing minor mistakes.”<\/p>\n

His wife’s generous support is also a great help for Kim Joo-hyung to focus on golf. Kim Joo-hyung said, “After getting married, I’ve become more focused on golf,” adding, “I’m feeling more stable psychologically. I am grateful to my wife who is always on my side,” he said with a smile.<\/p>\n

Numerous golf fans around the world are expecting Kim Joo-hyung to win his fourth career PGA Tour title. But Kim Joo-hyung does not feel impatient. As much as I can grow to the next level as a professional golfer through trials and failures, I am calmly preparing for the future to come.<\/p>\n

He said, “I’ve learned so much from the process that doesn’t work. I thought I knew a lot about golf in 2022, but not at all. “I think the time I’m spending last year and this year will be a great help to live as a professional golfer,” he explained.<\/p>\n

Scottie Scheffler of the U.S., the world’s No. 1 player who is close to Kim Joo-hyung, delivered a message of support at an official press conference. Upon hearing the news, Kim Joo-hyung said, “Sheffler, a competitor and dear friend, always supports me sincerely. I’m also the first player to introduce my wife, so I’m really grateful,” he said.<\/p>\n

Kim Joo-hyung also expressed his ambition to continue to challenge the rest of the season. “My top goal is to play a game that I’m satisfied with rather than a result such as a victory,” he said. “There is a tension that can only be felt when competing for the championship at the top.” I will prepare well so that I can experience this often,” he said.<\/p>\n
