- A hatched block means the outlet is affiliated with, or controlled by, a state.
Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.
Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.
The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.
Every source for this story reports from South Korea.
Three South Korean players, Kim Si-woo, Tom Kim, and Im Sung-jae, have qualified for the FedEx St. Jude Championship. The event begins Thursday at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee, and serves as the first of three FedEx Cup playoff tournaments. The top 70 players in the FedEx Cup standings are eligible for this opening leg. Following this event, only the top 50 players will advance to the BMW Championship in St. Louis, and the top 30 after that will move to the Tour Championship in Atlanta.
Kim Si-woo, currently ranked 7th, and Tom Kim, ranked 26th, are positioned within the top 50. Kim Si-woo has recorded 10 top 10 finishes this season, the second most on the tour behind Scottie Scheffler. He is the highest ranked player in the standings without a win. Tom Kim recently won the Genesis Scottish Open in July and rose to 30th in the world rankings after finishing tied for fifth at the Wyndham Championship.
Im Sung-jae, ranked 53rd, must finish in the top 50 this week to maintain his streak of seven consecutive Tour Championship appearances. He has recorded three top 10 finishes this year, though none since late May. There is no cut this week, and the winner will receive 3.6 million US dollars.
