2026 Fantasy Outlook
The first thing that jumps off the page for Im in 2025 was how poor his iron play was. He ranked outside the top 160 on Tour in SG: Approach, GIR percentage and proximity. It's hard to find a lot of consistent results when that is the case. Iron play may have never been the staple of Im's game, but it certainly had not been anywhere close to this poor at any other point in his career. The good news is that he made the best of a bad situation by ranking second in SG: Around-the-Green, and also drove the ball very well. The majority of Im's earnings in 2025 came from three top-5 finishes at The Senty, the Farmers Insurance Open and The Masters. He did miss eight cuts, however, the most in a season for him since his rookie campaign in 2018-19. Im is still just 27 years old and feels too talented to have another season outside the top 100 in SG: Total. Expect to see some more consistency in 2026. Read Past Outlooks
Misses cut at The Renaissance Club
Im registered a five-over cumulative score through the first two rounds of the Genesis Scottish Open to miss the cut by seven strokes.
ANALYSIS
Im was looking to bounce back from his T71 performance at the John Deere Classic last week, when he finished the tournament with a five-over 76 in the final round to fall 34 spots down the leaderboard. He was not much better at The Renaissance Club, where he lost 2.31 strokes in his approach play and lost another 2.65 strokes with his putter across his two rounds. Im has finished T30 or worse in seven of his last eight tournaments, with his T9 at THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson in May being the exception. He'll tee off next week at The Open Championship, where he's finished T81-T20-T7-T52 over his last four outings since 2022.

Im has been the model of consistency at just 26 years of age. He is coming off his sixth straight TOUR Championship appearance and continued to flex his strength all the way through the bag. The South Korean has not lost strokes in any category since the 2020-21 campaign when he was 142nd in SG: Around-the-Green. Im went through some major struggles at the beginning of 2024 with his iron play, losing strokes on approach in eight of ten starts. He would only post two top-25s in that stretch to go along with four missed cuts. After that point Im closed the FedExCup season gaining strokes on approach in 11 of 14 starts and posting 10 top-12 finishes in that stretch. He is more than due to find the winner's circle in 2025 for the first time on the PGA Tour since the Shriners Children's Open in 2021.
