Kim Si-woo will be determined to wind back the clock and win the
Sony Open in Hawaii for the second time in his career.
What to know about Kim
The South Korean star became a PGA Tour member at the age of 18 in 2013 and he has since won five professional tournaments.
Kim won the 2017 Players Championship to become the youngest-ever winner of the event at age 21 ahead of Louis Oosthuizen and Ian Poulter.

The 28-year-old took part in the Sentry Tournament of Champions which was the first event on the 2024 PGA Tour schedule and he finished 25th.
Kim is currently ranked 46th on the Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR) and his best OWGR is 28th.
Why Kim is among the favourites
The former Yonsei University student won the 2022 Sony Open in Hawaii trophy after he birdied the final two holes to win by one shot over Hayden Buckley.
Kim will be hoping to replicate the same form and become the fifth golfer to win back-to-back Sony Open in Hawaii titles after Ernie Els, Jimmy Walker, Hubert Green, and Corey Pavin.

"It's like the first time, winning my first event... it can't be better than this," Kim said after winning the Sony Open in Hawaii.
"It is really exciting and a lot of the season is left. I'm trying to get more confidence and then hopefully more wins."
