The Year of the Blue Snake has dawned in 2025 (the Year of the 乙巳). Who will take the energy of the Blue Snake, which has the meaning of growth and development, and play in the 2025 KPGA Tour?
Yang Ji-ho, a Youngsoo Kim born in 1989
First of all, Youngsoo Kim (36), the winner of the 2022 Genesis Grand Prize, is dreaming of making a leap forward. Youngsoo Kim, who won the 2022 Genesis Championship for the first time in his 12th year since his debut on the tour and participated in 107 KPGA Tour tournaments, won his second career championship at the LG SIGNATURE Players Championship that year and even won the Genesis Grand Prize.
Youngsoo Kim, who played in the DP World Tour in 2023 as the winner of the "Genesis Grand Prize," returned to the KPGA Tour last year. He participated in 21 competitions and succeeded in rebounding by passing the cut in 16 competitions, including the third place in the "Bizplay-Wonder Club Open with Club72."
Yang Ji-ho (36), who has two wins on the KPGA Tour along with Youngsoo Kim, will also try to win his third KPGA Tour title in the Year of the Snake in 2025.
