Won the 2024 ZOZO CHAMPIONSHIP in most recent start (first win: 2023 Puerto Rico Open).

Will be the first player to win in back-to-back starts on Tour since Rory McIlroy (2024 Zurich Classic of New Orleans, 2024 Truist Championship).

Will become the seventh multiple winner on Tour this season, joining Scottie Scheffler (7), Nick Dunlap (2), Robert MacIntyre (2), Hideki Matsuyama (2), Rory McIlroy (2), Xander Schauffele (2).

Has his third career 54-hole lead/co-lead on TOUR; 2-for-2 to date converting to victory.

Held a two-stroke lead entering the final round of the ZOZO Championship and went on to win.

Is the only player bogey-free through 54-holes; would become the first player since Tom Kim (2022 Shriners Children’s Open) to play 72 holes without a bogey (or worse) and win.

Will become the fourth international winner (fifth instance) of the World Wide Technology Championship (most recent: Erik van Rooyen/2023/South Africa).

Win would come in his second start at the World Wide Technology Championship (T31/2023).

Projected to move from No. 65 to No. 51 in the FedExCup Fall points list with a victory.

Would be third top-10 finish in 28 starts this season: T4/Zurich Classic of New Orleans (with partner Max Greyserman), won/ZOZO Championship.
