Kim Baek-jun (24, Team Sokcho Ai) is maintaining his lead in the Genesis Points while competing for victory in three consecutive tournaments. Kim Baek-jun's performance in the last three tournaments includes a win, a T10 finish, and a runner-up position.

Kim Baek-jun achieved his first tour victory at the season opener, the 20th DB Insurance Promi Open, which concluded on the 20th of last month. He also finished tied for 10th in the following tournament, the 2025 Woori Financial Championship, and secured the runner-up position at the 44th GS Caltex Maekyung Open.

In particular, at the 2025 Woori Financial Championship, he successfully made the cut by hitting exactly the cutoff standard after the second round. At that time, his ranking was tied for 50th. However, his momentum in the finals was impressive. He reduced his score by four strokes in the third round, pulling up to a tie for 6th place, three strokes behind the sole leader.

At the 44th GS Caltex Maekyung Open, he finished tied for 9th after being in the sole lead until the third round. He lost a stroke on the final day, but showcased excellent crisis management skills throughout the competition, finishing in a tie for 2nd.

Having succeeded in entering the Top 10 in three consecutive tournaments, Kim Baek-jun maintained his position at the top of the Genesis Points with a total of 1,894.50 points. He is also ranked first in the Top 10 finish category with three finishes.

Kim Baek-jun said, "Even though it is early in the season, I want to give myself high marks for performing consistently in every tournament. However, I am also disappointed that I couldn’t capitalize on the opportunities to add another victory,” adding, “Since my first win, my condition and performance have been consistently good. I also feel more stable psychologically."

He also mentioned, "I am really proud to have been in 1st place in the Genesis Points since the opening tournament," and added, "I will do my best in every tournament I participate in so I can maintain this position for a long time."

Following Kim Baek-jun, Moon Do-yeob (34, DB Insurance), who claimed victory at the 44th GS Caltex Maekyung Open, is ranked 2nd in Genesis Points with 1,577.00 points. Lee Tae-hoon (35, Canada), who lifted the trophy at the 2025 Woori Financial Championship, is ranked 3rd with 1,259.33 points.

Kim Baek-jun is set to compete in the KPGA Classic, which starts on the 8th. However, since Moon Do-yeob and Lee Tae-hoon will be participating in the Asian Tour's International Series Japan, attention is on whether Kim Baek-jun can achieve an upper-tier performance in the KPGA Classic to widen the points gap.

Ok Tae-hoon (27, Geumgang Housing) ranked 4th, Lee Sang-hee (33) ranked 5th, Park Jun-hong (24, Woori Financial Group) ranked 6th, Jo Woo-young (24, Woori Financial Group) ranked 7th, Lee Jeong-hwan (34, Woori Financial Group) ranked 8th, Kang Tae-young (27, Hanyang Rheumatism Hospital) ranked 9th, and Hwang Do-yeon (32) was ranked 10th, forming the Genesis Points Top 10.

After the season ends, the player who ranks first in Genesis Points and wins the Daesang will receive a bonus prize of 200 million won along with a Genesis vehicle, a 5-year KPGA tour seed, direct qualification for the final round of the PGA Tour Qualifying School, and a 1-year DP World Tour seed.
