Michael Kim: Forms and Statistics

Michael Sangwon Kim earned a spot in the 2013 U.S. Open by finishing tied for first place in the sectional qualifier he competed in. Michael Kim was tied for 10th place after the third round of competition. In December of 2013, Micahel Kim began his career as a professional. After placing tied for 56th at the Web.com Tour Qualifying Tournament, he was given limited status on the Web.com Tour for the 2014 season. He participated in 17 tournaments, of which he advanced past the cut in eleven of them, with his best finish being a tie for second place at the Price Cutter Charity Championship. As a result of Kim's performance in the Web.com Tour Finals, he was invited back to play on the Web.com Tour in 2015. Michael Kim has been a full-time member of the PGA Tour since 2016. He won his first PGA Tour event, the 2018 John Deere Classic, by a score of eight strokes, which established a new scoring record for the tournament. As a result of his efforts, he was granted the very last invitation to the Open Championship in 2018. Michael Kim had a disappointing 2020–2021 PGA Tour season, finishing 214th in the FedEx Cup standings as only nine of his thirty starts qualified for the cut. Kim competed on the Korn Ferry Tour during the 2021–22 season and was successful enough there to win back his PGA Tour card for the 2022–23 season. 

Michael Kim: Strength

Michael Kim has averaged 306.3 yards in his past five starts and has an average of 0.439 Strokes Gained. The last two weeks haven’t been great for Kim, as he finished T55 at the PGA Championship and WD at the Truist Championship due to injury. In both tournaments, he lost strokes on approach and with the flatstick. He doesn’t have great course history at Colonial and on other comp courses like Harbour Town, Sedgefield, Wailae among others.

Mark Hubbard: Forms and Statistics

Mark Hubbard is an American professional golfer with a notable career. In 2009, he earned the distinction of being a first-team all-Western Athletic Conference (WAC) honoree and qualified twice for the NCAA Division I Men's Golf Championship, in both 2009 and 2011. Transitioning to the professional circuit in 2012, Hubbard achieved a significant milestone in September 2013 by clinching his first PGA Tour Canada victory at The Wildfire Invitational. During his inaugural season on the Web.com Tour, Hubbard showcased impressive skills, securing six top-10 finishes, including a runner-up position. His consistent performance led to an 18th-place finish on the regular-season money list, earning him his first PGA Tour card. Although his debut season on the PGA Tour in 2014 saw him making 15 out of 25 cuts, his best finish was T20. In 2019, Hubbard achieved a significant victory on the Web.com Tour at the LECOM Suncoast Classic, contributing to his return to the PGA Tour by finishing ninth on the regular-season money list.

Mark Hubbard: Strength

In 2024, Mark Hubbard made an insane flop shot for eagle. This year, he scored rare personal back-to-back top-10s on the PGA Tour. The Denver native makes the longest of his 4 career holes-in-one on PGA Tour; he cards 2 eagles in 3-hole stretch.
