The Korea Professional Golfers’ Association (which co-sanctioned the Genesis Championship) issued a warning for Kim’s actions, with Korea’s KoongAng Daily reporting Kim “failed to maintain dignity” after the tournament.
Two weeks after a rather chippy Presidents Cup, Paul Tesori has come to Tom Kim’s defence regarding allegations that the American players cursed at the 22-year-old Korean during the Presidents Cup. But the veteran caddie also wishes his player had handled the situation differently in the aftermath.
Kim made it a point to seek out Furyk and Schauffele to explain exactly what he meant by his comments, and he revealed what he said to them in the International team’s post-Presidents Cup press conference.
Tom Kim’s theatrical performance at the Presidents Cup may have worn thin with American fans. But according to Kim, it’s the US side that crossed a line.
Despite being fully exempt for this year’s Genesis Scottish Open – after a T-6 finish last year and a third-place finish in 2022 – Kim still needed some last-minute help to make the field at the Renaissance Club thanks to an honest, but near-costly, mistake.
Scheffler treats Kim like his little brother, and often gives him a hard time – as siblings do. He genuinely believes Kim will be successful on tour for a long time.
World No.1 Scottie Scheffler extended his dominance on the PGA Tour by winning the Travelers Championship for his sixth title of the season, becoming the first golfer to record six wins on the PGA Tour before July since Arnold Palmer in 1962. The FedExCup points leader defeated close friend Tom Kim of Korea with a par on the first hole of a sudden-death playoff. This is his blog from TPC River Highlands.
Scheffler sidestepped a bizarre fan demonstration and a haymaker from friend and protege Tom Kim to capture the Travelers Championship for his sixth win of the PGA Tour season.
Still relatively fresh from a European Ryder Cup debut and gaining his PGA Tour card through his stellar play on the DP World Tour in 2023, Scotland’s Robert MacIntyre has found life in the New World to be so very different and a lot more stressful.
