Simple to-infinitive for present simple
In this " Random-Idea-English" site, I didn't understand the explanation. The explanation is as follows:

b The next contestant to answer correctly will get bonus points.
Now my question is that: In 1.a., does "who answers correctly" express future event or habitual event?
