Seonghyun Kim will participate in the PGA Championship, the second major golf tournament of the season.

According to the Associated Press on the 13th (Korean time), Seong-Hyun Kim took one of the two remaining spots thanks to Rory McIlroy (Northern Ireland) winning the Wells Fargo Championship.

154 players have already been confirmed for the PGA Championship, in which 156 players will participate, and the remaining two tickets were scheduled to go to the winners of the PGA Tour's Wells Fargo Championship and Myrtle Beach Classic, which ended on the 13th.

However, McIlroy, who was already qualified to participate, won the Wells Fargo Championship, so Kim Seong-hyun, who was on standby, secured the right to participate.

Seonghyun Kim is participating in the PGA Championship for the first time.

The remaining ticket went to Myrtle Beach Classic winner Chris Garterup (USA).

As a result, a total of seven Korean players, including Seong-Hyun Kim, Byung-Hoon An, Seong-Jae Lim, Si-Woo Kim, Joo-Hyung Kim, Gyeong-Hoon Lee, and Yong-Eun Yang, will participate in the PGA Championship, which opens at the Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Kentucky, USA on the 16th local time. 고스톱사이트
