Pak joined the Korn Ferry Tour in 2021 and most recently won the 2024 Compliance Solutions Championship with an impressive 23-under par.
Originally from Renaca, Vina del Mar, Chile, Del Solar also left Florida State as a decorated amateur golfer after graduating in 2017.

In July of 2024, Del Solar placed first in 2024 The Ascendant presented by Blue tournament, with a 22-under par score. He becomes the third Chilean in history to earn a PGA Tour membership via the Korn Ferry Tour.
Del Solar carded the lowest round in PGA TOUR-sanctioned history, a 13-under 57, in the first round of the 2024 Astara Golf Championship presented by Mastercard at Country Club de Bogota. The round also tied the Korn Ferry Tour record for lowest 18-hole score relative to par.
