The tournament was launched as Korea's first official PGA Tour
event in 2017 and was played for three consecutive years at Nine
Bridges on Jeju Island before challenges related to COVID-19
forced its relocation.
The PGA Tour said the CJ Cup, which has provided a platform to
showcase golf's top Korean players, will still honor its South
Korean roots when this year's edition is held Oct. 20-23 at
Congaree Golf Club.
Five players designated by the Korea Professional Golfers'
Association, as well as the top three available players of
Korean nationality from the world rankings, will be part of the
78-player field, the PGA Tour said in a news release.
The rest of the field will be made up of the leading players
from the FedExCup points list and sponsor exemptions. There will
be no 36-hole cut.
