Kim Juhyung is a star player who already has three PGA Tour victories before the age of 23. This season, he has played in 13 tournaments, making the top 10 just once and without a win. His best result was tied for 6th at the Myrtle Beach Classic in May. Kim secured his ticket to the US Open through regional qualifiers and plans to raise his form at the RBC Canadian Open. In the 2024 Canadian Open, he finished tied for fourth, but missed the cut at last year's event.

This year, a significant number of top-ranked players are also competing. Among those in the world top 10, fourth-ranked Matt Fitzpatrick, sixth-ranked Justin Rose, seventh-ranked Tommy Fleetwood (all from England), and tenth-ranked Collin Morikawa (United States) are on the entry list. Aaron Rai (England), the winner of the PGA Championship major, is also aiming for his second victory of the season.
