These are our four selections that could win the title this weekend.
Si Woo Kim
Si Woo Kim has been performing well on the PGA Tour since mid-July, placing T9 at the Genesis Scottish Open, T6 at the Open Championship, T42 at the Rocket Classic, 2nd at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, T33 at the BMW Championship, and T14 at the Tour Championship.
Other prominent performances achieved by Kim this season include 3rd at the Australian Open, T6 at the American Express, T2 at the Farmers Insurance Open, T3 at the WM Phoenix Open, T10 at the Valero Texas Open, 3rd at the RBC Heritage, T4 at the Cadillac Championship, 2nd at the CJ CUP Byron Nelson and a T10 at the Memorial Tournament.
The three-time PGA Tour winner finished T21 overall at the 2025 Genesis Championship on debut.
Kim has the form to go all the way and win the title in front of his home fans this weekend.
Sungjae Im
Sungjae Im has found consistency on the PGA Tour in his last five starts, placing T15 at the Rocket Classic, T14 at the Wyndham Championship, T5 at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, T10 at the BMW Championship, and T9 at the recent Baycurrent Classic.
Additional highlights from Im's year include T4 at the Valspar Championship, T5 at the Truist Championship, T9 at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson and T14 at the Open Championship.
The two-time PGA Tour winner finished T42 at the 2025 Genesis Championship on debut.
Im has been showing signs that he is ready to return to the winner's circle.
Angel Hidalgo
Angel Hidalgo has found some form on the DP World Tour since the beginning of September, placing T4 at the Omega European Masters, T55 at the Amgen Irish Open, 2nd at the FedEx Open de France, T32 at the Open de Espana and T3 at the DP World India Championship.
Other noteworthy results achieved by Hidalgo this year include a T19 at the Volvo China Open, T21 at the KLM Open, a T19 at the Italian Open and a T21 at the British Masters.
The Spaniard is yet to have an impact at the Genesis Championship, missing the cut in 2023 and 2025.
Hidalgo has been playing well lately and could lift the trophy in South Korea this weekend.
Joel Girrbach
Joel Girrbach has been in decent nick lately, placing T9 at the Omega European Masters, T23 at the Amgen Irish Open, MC at the BMW PGA Championship, T37 at the FedEx Open de France, MC at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, T7 at the Open de Espana and T13 at the DP World India Championship last weekend.

The Swiss golfer has made two appearances at the Genesis Championship, finishing T44 in 2024 and T21 in 2025.
Girrbach has been thereabouts and could upstage the others with a victory at the Woo Jeong Hills Country Club this weekend.
