He’s only gone and done it again! After an 826 day hiatus, Rory McIlroy is World No 1 for a ninth time after successfully defending his CJ Cup title. The Northern Irishman saw off a late charge from Kurt Kitayama to land his third victory of 2022 and first PGA Tour win of the new season.
CJ Cup
Inaugurated in 2017, the CJ Cup was originally played at Nine Bridges in South Korea, but jumped over to the United States in 2020 due to the pandemic, where it has remained ever since.
Drawing one of the strongest fields of the PGA Tour season, the 2022 CJ Cup will feature 15 of the top 20 players in the Official World Golf Rankings, including former winners Rory McIlroy and Justin Thomas, as well as World No 1 Scottie Scheffler.
Like last week’s Zozo Championship, the CJ Cup will only include 78 players and will not have a cut.
