Tom Kim

Tom Kim was joint runner-up behind Brian Harman at Royal Liverpool in 2023 in only his second Open appearance.

The first at St Andrews came as the second youngest winner of the Asian Tour Order of Merit, and was swiftly followed by his first two victories on the PGA TOUR.

He captured the Wyndham Championship by five after a scintillating closing 61 and then the Shriners Children’s Open by three. That included a third-round 62.

In between he won his first Presidents Cup cap, recording victories there alongside KH Lee and Si-woo Kim, and in October 2023 he successfully defended the Shriners title to move just outside the world’s top 10.

His Asian Tour title was clinched aged 19 at the SMBC Singapore Open, where four spots were on offer as part of The Open Qualifying Series and he finished joint runner-up to Thailand’s Sadom Kaewkanjana a week after winning the Singapore International. 

After suffering a dip in form and missing the first two majors of 2026, Kim bounced back in style and offered a reminder of his rich talent at the US Open, claiming a tie for third at Shinnecock Hills.

And he was back in the winner's circle in July, capturing the Genesis Scottish Open by two strokes from Min Woo Lee. It was his fourth PGA TOUR success.
