Tom Kim will be eager to redeem himself by winning the Rocket Mortgage Classic after missing out on the recent Travelers Championship.
What to know about Kim
Kim Joo-hyung, commonly known as Tom Kim, has won three times on the PGA Tour, and twice on both the Asian Tour and the Korean Tour.
Kim came close to winning The Open Championship in 2023 when finished second behind champion Brian Harman and it remains his best performance in a golf major.
News
The South Korean star was in action at the 2024 Travelers Championship where he finished second after he lost to par on the first extra hole against champion Scottie Scheffler.
Kim is coming into the Rocket Mortgage Classic placed 16th in the Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR) and his best ranking is 11th.
Why Kim is among the favourites
The 22-year-old is the highest-ranked player on the OWGR among those who are set to compete in the 2024 Rocket Mortgage Classic.
Kim, who finished second at the 2024 RBC Canadian Open earlier this month, is a clear favourite to win this weekend's tournament.
Quotes
“I’m going to definitely look at this week as a positive. Against the best players in the world, I fought really hard,” said Kim after the 2024 Travelers Championship.
“I had so much fun out there, felt like a practice round with (Scheffler) … It's just nice to know that the hard work kind of really does come to life.
"Like, yes, it would have been super sweet if I won, but it still doesn't change who I am.”
