Choi hopes to rewrite history on the Asian Tour by winning an unprecedented third straight victory at the US$750,000 CJ Invitational, an event where he is the host, next month.<\/p>\n<p>Choi, who is an Asian Tour honorary member, said it would be a great honour to win the CJ Invitational Hosted by KJ Choi for the third time but added that he would be delighted if another Asian Tour player pips him to the title.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWinning my tournament for the third straight year would be great but I would love to see one of the younger guys pull it off this year. I\u2019m sure it will be another great year with a great finish,\u201d said Choi, the first Asian to host a major golf tournament.<\/p>\n<p>The CJ Invitational Hosted by KJ Choi, running for its third edition, is expected to attract many of the top Asian Tour and Korean talents to the highly impressive Haesley Nine Bridges Golf Club from October 10 to 13.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe the CJ Invitational Hosted by KJ Choi has become one of the most prestigious tournaments on the Asian Tour over the last couple years, so I\u2019m very happy with the event. It is held on a great golf course with great conditions,\u201d said Choi.<\/p>\n<p>Choi plied his trade on the Asian Tour before going to enjoy success on the PGA Tour where he won eight titles including the 2011 The Players Championship, which is regarded as the world\u2019s unofficial fifth Major.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Asian Tour is one of the most competitive Tours and I really believe it helped prepare me well for my future on the PGA Tour. Playing on any Tour is always helpful. There are experiences that you always learn a great deal from wherever you play,\u201d Choi explained.<\/p>\n<p>He has not won on the PGA Tour since 2011 but was delighted with his performances this season where he missed only four cuts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have to say that I am pretty content with my performances this year.&nbsp; I really can\u2019t believe how fast the year has gone by but I think I have stayed fairly consistent throughout. It hasn\u2019t been a great year, it has been fairly good,\u201d said Choi.<\/p>\n<p>The CJ Invitational Hosted by KJ Choi has also been a great platform for Choi to give back to charity. The gracious Korean had previously donated his winnings from the event in 2011 and 2012 to the KJ Choi Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is very exciting but it is a lot of work being the host and participant. I have to make sure that I am keeping both the players and sponsors happy, which is not easy. But with the tremendous growth we have seen since the tournament\u2019s inauguration in 2011, I have to say that the excitement grows more and more every year,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI came up with the idea (to have the tournament) after seeing how successful Tiger Woods\u2019 tournament has been over the years and how much it has benefited his foundation. I hope the CJ Invitational Hosted by KJ Choi will provide the same impact which will benefit my KJ Choi Foundation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The CJ Invitational Hosted by KJ Choi is title sponsored by the CJ Group, Korea\u2019s food-to-entertainment conglomerate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seoul: Korean superstar K.J.
