Player Overview
Tom Kim is one of the brightest young stars in professional golf, having already won three PGA Tour events before his 22nd birthday. The South Korean sensation combines a charismatic personality with a surprisingly complete game for his age. Kim's strengths lie in his putting, short game touch, and ability to score in bunches — he's capable of rattling off three or four birdies in a row when his confidence is flowing. His ball-striking continues to develop, and his driving distance has improved as his body matures. Kim's popularity and marketability have made him one of the tour's most recognizable faces, but it's his on-course performance that truly sets him apart. He plays with a joy and fearlessness that makes him capable of winning any week.
