West Waterford’s Seamus Power will make his first start for four months in this week’s The King & Bear Classic on the Korn Ferry Tour.

The 33-year old, who is playing out of the 126-150th category this season after finishing 143rd in 2018-19 FedExCup standings, played seven PGA Tour events before the season was halted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

He’s 202nd the FedEx Cup standings after making four of seven cuts this year and will be keen to make hay at World Golf Village in Florida in his first Korn Ferry Tour start since last year’s Korn Ferry Tour Championship.

The King & Bear GC measures 7,279 yards and plays to a par of 72, and was co-designed by Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus. Feed

According to PGATour.com, “the event features a Wednesday start and Saturday finish, giving players an extra day to test for COVID-19 and prepare for next week’s Utah Championship two time zones to the west.”

Power knows how it feels to win on the second-tier tour in the US having captured the 2016 United Leasing & Finance Championship en route to promotion to the PGA Tour.
