The Iron Heads needed young talent like his to push our veterans, and I’m confident he has what it takes to become a world-class golfer.”-Kevin Na said, as quoted by Golf Monthly.

In the end, it was Kevin Na who closely followed his progress, wanting to see where things would go. Ultimately, he had no doubt that the 22-year-old would be a great addition to the team. This brings additional excitement to golf fans in Korea, who will have players at LIV Golf. This will benefit both parties.
