David Puig
David Puig began his season in excellent form, winning the BMW Australian PGA Championship before missing the cut at the Crown Australian Open, and placing T3 at the Dubai Invitational and T7 at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic.
Puig has maintained his touch on the DP World Tour and the LIV Golf League since those results, placing T4 in Riyadh, T51 in Adelaide, T8 in Hong Kong, T21 in Singapore, T6 in South Africa, MC at the Hero Indian Open, 2nd in Mexico City, T18 at the Turkish Airlines Open, and T12 in Virginia before finishing T18 at the recent PGA Championship.
The Spaniard finished T20 at the 2025 LIV Golf Korea tournament on debut.

Dean Burmester
Dean Burmester had a mediocre start to his season on the DP World Tour and LIV Golf League, finishing T32 at the Alfred Dunhill Championship and T51 in Riyadh.
However, Burmester has been in great shape since those performances, placing T6 in Adelaide, T20 at the Investec South African Open Championship, 7th in Hong Kong, 10th in Singapore, T6 in South Africa, T15 in Mexico City, and 4th in Virginia.
The South African finished T13 at the 2025 LIV Golf Korea event on debut.

Smith's form subsequently dipped after those performances after missing the cut at the Masters and finishing T39 in Mexico City and T26 in Virginia before securing a T7 at the recent PGA Championship.
The former Open Champion finished T7 at LIV Golf Korea in 2025.
Smith has the game to come out on top in Busan this weekend.

The nine-time DP World Tour winner will make his debut at LIV Golf Korea this weekend.
