Struggles with putter at TCHO Im finished tied for 60th at the Texas Children's Houston Open with a one-under cumulative score.

Impact Im opened the tournament with a three-under 67 score Thursday that included back-to-back birdies on holes 16 and 17, but it was a free fall down the leaderboard over the next three days, going two-over par in that span. He ranked T9 in driving accuracy and 11th in SG: Around-the-Green, but he lost 3.74 strokes on the green (69th in SG: Putting) and ranked near the bottom of the field in SG: Off-the-Tee, driving distance, birdies made and GIR. Im made his 2026 debut at the Arnold Palmer Invitational after missing time due to a wrist injury and has gone MC-MC-T4-T60 in four Tour outings. The next time Im will tee off is at The Masters starting April 9. He's enjoyed success at Augusta National with three top-10 finishes in six appearances, including T2 in 2020 and T5 last year.

Drops to T4 at Valspar Championship Im carded a three-over 74 in the final round of the Valspar Championship to finish tied for fourth with Xander Schauffele and Marco Penge.

Impact Im got off to a roaring start with a seven-under 64 first round, opening Thursday by going four-under through the first three holes and ending with two eagles, five birdies and three bogeys. He followed that up with back-to-back two-under 69 rounds to enter Sunday with a two-stroke lead over Brandt Snedeker and David Lipsky. However, Im lost his hold at the top of the leaderboard after going five-over through the first 10 holes, including back-to-back bogeys on holes two and three. He was able to sneak back into the top-5 thanks to birdies on holes 11 and 16, and while it was a lost opportunity for Im, he still came away with his best PGA Tour finish since The Sentry in January of 2025 (solo third). Im ranked T4 in birdies made, sixth in SG: Putting, 15th in SG: Around-the-Green and 25th in SG: Approach, but he struggled off the tee, ranking 58th in SG: Off-the-Tee and T69 in driving accuracy. He is in the field for the Texas Children's Houston Open next week, where he's made the cut in all three of his prior outings and finished 60th in 2025.
