Tom Kim

Tom Kim — Tom Kim may be a new name in the world of professional golf, but fans should get used to hearing it as the player is poised to be one of the greats! The Korean phenom, 20, made his Masters debut at the famed golf tournament in 2023, playing his first practice round with his idols Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy.

To summarize his meteoric rise, Tom became the first player since Woods to win twice on the PGA Tour before turning 21 and this all happened within a few months of 2022, a year he began with a pro status only on the Asian Tour! In August, Tom won the Wyndham Championship in North Carolina and two months later, he took home the trophy for the Shriners Children’s Open in Las Vegas. He is the now No. 19-ranked player in the Official World Golf Ranking.
