T17 at Baycurrent Classic Ghim fired a four-under 67 on Sunday at the Baycurrent Classic to finish 10-under and tied for 17th.

Impact Ghim converted just seven of 17 total scrambling opportunities en route to 10 bogeys and a double in Japan, but he also ranked T3 among the field in GIR percentage while gaining 4.89 strokes on approach. He's now placed T19 or better in five consecutive starts since his back-to-back missed cuts at the Genesis Scottish Open and the 3M Open, ascending to 55th in the FedExCup Fall standings ahead of the Butterfield Bermuda Championship where he finished 13th in 2025.

Runner-up in Utah Ghim carded a 24-under cumulative score at the Bank of Utah Championship to finish as the runner-up and two strokes back of winner Austin Smotherman.

Impact Ghim was just one shot back of Smotherman heading into the final round after the former posted rounds of 65-62-64. He was two-under through eight holes Sunday, but he was unable to catch up to Smotherman after going even-par over the final 10 holes. It was Ghim's best finish of the 2026 season and best performance since his solo second at the 2024 Shriners Children's Open. He led the field in Utah in feet of putts made, SG: Off-the-Tee (plus-5.71 strokes) and driving accuracy, hitting 55 of 56 fairways. He also ranked second in birdies, sixth in SG: Around and T9 in GIR. Ghim enters next week's Baycurrent Classic 89th in the FedExCup Fall Standings.

Cracks top-20 at Wyndham Ghim fired a four-under 66 in the final round of the Wyndham Championship to finish tied with Jordan Spieth and Kevin Roy for 19th.

Impact Ghim entered the week 97th in the FedExCup Standings, and while he had some solid play at Sedgefield Country Club, it wasn't enough for him to move into the top-70 for a spot in the playoffs. Ghim gained 6.46 strokes in his approach play, fifth-best in the field, while also ranking T10 in GIR, 14th in driving distance and 24th in SG: Around, though he also finished outside the top-50 in driving accuracy, scrambling, SG: Putting and SG: Off-the-Tee. With the FedExCup playoffs spanning the next three weeks, the Biltmore Championship Asheville on Sept. 17 is Ghim's next opportunity to tee off on the PGA Tour.

Paces Rocket Classic in SG: OTT Ghim fired a three-under 67 on Sunday at the Rocket Classic to finish 11-under and tied for 15th.

Impact Ghim paced the entire field in SG: Off-the-Tee at Detroit Golf Club, where he also finished T2 in GIR percentage and T9 in driving accuracy while carding just five total bogeys across 72 holes. Although he lost 1.47 strokes with the flat stick, Ghim still managed to convert 10 of 13 scrambling opportunities, though the putter is what limited him to 16 total birdies. He'll be in attendance again this week for the Wyndham Championship where he's made the cut in three of seven prior appearances.

Plunged by late double bogey Ghim missed the cut by two strokes at the 3M Open following a one-over 72 second round.

Impact Ghim has missed the cut in back-to-back outings following his T6 finish at the John Deere Classic, his best performance of the 2026 season. He was right on the three-under cut line late in the second round, but he failed to qualify for the weekend after his tee shot on the par-3 17th went into the water, leading to a crushing double bogey. The top-70 on the FedExCup Standings at the end of the PGA Tour regular season earn a spot in the playoffs, and Ghim entered TPC Twin Cities 95th in the standings. He's in the field for the next week's Rocket Classic, where he's made the cut in three of six prior outings and finished T19 last year.

Best finish of 2026 Ghim carded a bogey-free, three-under 68 in the final round of the John Deere Classic to finish tied with Mac Meissner and Jackson Suber for sixth.

Impact Ghim did most of his work in the middle of the tournament, carding back-to-back six-under 65 scores Friday and Saturday, and he maintained his spot in the top-10 thanks to a bogey-free final round for his best finish at a solo PGA Tour event this season. Ghim's success came from his ability to avoid dropped shots, as his three bogeys were tied for third-best in the tournament. He also ranked T8 in scrambling, T10 in GIR and in the top-15 in driving accuracy, driving distance and SG: Putting, as well as 17th in SG: Off-the-Tee. Ghim will tee off next week at the Genesis Scottish Open, where he finished T16 in his debut at the event in 2022 before missing the cut in both 2023 and 2024.

Ranks 12th in SG: T2G at THE CJ CUP Ghim fired a four-under 67 on Sunday at THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson to finish 14-under and tied for 31st.

Impact Ghim's final round at TPC Craig Ranch was highlighted by an eagle on the par-4 14th hole, where he made a 31-foot pitch shot from the greenside rough for the deuce. He ultimately ended the event ranked 12th among the field in SG: Tee-to-Green, but Ghim also lost 3.384 strokes with the putter. Nonetheless, he's now placed T31 or better in four consecutive starts dating back to the Valero Texas Open, rising to 112th in the FedExCup standings ahead of the Charles Schwab Challenge.
