There is no 20-year-old in pro golf with more attention on him than Tom Kim. The rising PGA Tour star burst onto the scene late last year with a win at the Wyndham Championship followed by a thrilling performance at the Presidents Cup.
Kim then added another victory at the 2022 Shriners Children’s Open in October to get the new 2022-23 season off to the right start. Last week in his first appearance at the Tournament of Champions, he contended and eventually finished T5. (In between he spent a shift as babysitter for fellow pro Jordan Spieth.)
Now Kim has a golden opportunity to ride his hot hand into this week’s Sony Open, maybe all the way to PGA Tour title No. 3.
