The CJ Cup Byron Nelson’s Korean connection

The entire tournament has a deep-standing connection with the country. CJ Group, which is the sponsor of the tournament, is a South Korean conglomerate holding company that works in various industries like food, logistics, pharmaceuticals, and many others. The connection does not end there. The winner of the tournament receives a plaque with names of past tournament winners and other prominent golf players carved in hangeul, which is the Korean alphabet.

The trophy was designed by Korean artisans and made with the cooperation of the National Museum of Korea and the Cheongju Early Printing Museum. Taylor Pendrith, after his victory last year, stated, “Having my name engraved in hangeul on the trophy was an incredibly special experience.” Even Kai Trump, in her promotional reel for the event, stated that the event would be a celebration of Korean culture.

There are six South Korean players on the field this time, including the likes of Byeong Hun An and Kim Si Woo. Do you think one of the six players could earn a much-needed victory at their ‘home’ PGA Tour event?
