South Carolina is the venue for the PGA Tour this week, as a strong field is set to compete for the CJ Cup.
The CJ Cup is Korea’s first PGA Tour event, however due to challenges posed by covid, it’s now based in the USA.
It was first played in the picturesque venue of Jeju Island, before a move to now South Carolina. This year, the event is at Congaree Golf Club, a course hosting its second PGA Tour event, after the Palmetto Championship last year. Left-hander Garrick Higgo was the winner there.
This year, the field is pretty stacked with talent. That includes the world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, as well as US Open Champion Matt Fitzpatrick. They’re joined by last year’s winner Rory McIlroy, as well as former Masters champion Hideki Matsuyama. They’re part of a 78-man field that will all play four rounds, as like last week at the Zozo Championship, there’s no halfway cut.
In 2021, McIlroy, who could this week jump back to world No.1, joined a list of past winners of the CJ Cupthat includes Justin Thomas, Brooks Koepka and Jason Kokrak. In the field this week, there’s also several Korean players teeing it up.
Let’s take a closer look at the details ahead of the action getting underway.
