Kim Si-woo kept the pride of Korean golf at the DP World Tour Genesis Championship. He failed to win the title he aimed for, but finished the 2026 season in a good mood by finishing in the top five.

Kim Si-woo had an even par 71 in the final fourth round of the tournament held at Woojeong Hills Country Club in Cheonan, South Chungcheong Province on the 25th. Kim Si-woo, who recorded a total of 10-under 274, tied for fourth along with Lion Fox (New Zealand), Antony Rosner (France), and Shin Sang-hoon.

Kim Si-woo, ranked 14th in the world and the highest among the participants, was mentioned as the No. 1 candidate for the Genesis Championship. Kim Si-woo, who drove 4 under par on the third day, narrowed the gap between Kasuraga and Yuto (Japan) to 3 strokes, setting the stage for a come-from-behind victory.

As the Genesis Championship is the last official competition to participate this year, Kim Si-woo did not hide his greed for victory ahead of the final day of the game. The reason why he expressed his strong desire to win more than ever is that he has never reached the top in Korea since his professional debut.

However, the play in the first half of the final day was disappointing. Kim Si-woo lost two shots and moved away from the competition for the championship. Kim Si-woo, who changed the mood with a birdie on the 12th hole, showed stable performance in the remaining holes. She saved another shot at the 15th hole, and finished the tournament tied for fourth.

Shin showed the power of the KPGA Tour. Shin Sang-hoon, who was ranked No. 1 in points for the Genesis Grand Prize, tied for fourth with Kim Si-woo. Having ranked in the top 10 for the ninth time this year at the Genesis Championship, he gained an advantage in winning the Genesis Grand Prize.

Kasuragawa, who had a 13-under 271, won the championship. Kasragawa, who showed his unshakable performance even in the face of heavy pressure on the final day, beat joint second-place Fredrik Lacroix and Martin Cuban (France) by two strokes and held the trophy in his arms. He won his second DP World Tour title and received $680,000 in prize money.
