Tom Kim
Tom Kim burst onto the world stage as one of golf's most electrifying young talents. The South Korean prodigy won on major tours as a teenager and quickly became the emotional leader of the Presidents Cup International Team with his infectious energy. However, the 2025 season has proven challenging, with no PGA Tour victories and a best finish of T-7 at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Despite these struggles, Kim's undeniable talent and fierce competitive spirit suggest he has the ability to return to winning form. At just 22 years old, he has time to rediscover the form that earned him three PGA Tour victories and made him one of the most exciting players in professional golf.
