Sungjae Im has been consistent in the sport in a manner that very few players have managed to embody. He proved his caliber on the greens last season with a series of steady performances. Early results set the tone, including a third-place finish at The Sentry and a fourth-place showing at Farmers Insurance Open, helping him remain comfortably inside the FedExCup’s top tier through the summer. However, the end of 2025 brought a rare interruption.
