Tom Kim

Kim Joo-hyung (; born 21 June 2002), commonly known as Tom Kim, is a South Korean professional golfer. He has won four times on the PGA Tour, and twice on both the Asian Tour and the Korean Tour.

Early life and amateur career Kim was born in Seoul, South Korea, and is the son of a professional golfer, Kim Chang-ik, who played on the Buy.com Tour before becoming a teaching professional. As a result, Kim was based in Australia, the Philippines and later Thailand for a number of years. In 2018 he won the Philippine Amateur Open Championship and the W Express RVF Cup Amateur Championship. In July, Kim finished solo-third at the Genesis Scottish Open, a co-sanctioned event between the PGA Tour and the European Tour; he was one of three players who had earned entry to the tournament through the Korea Professional Golfers' Association (KPGA). With a T47 finish at the 2022 Open Championship, Kim became eligible for Special Temporary Membership on the PGA Tour for the remainder of the 2021–22 season. He earned his PGA Tour card for the 2022–23 season with a 7th place finish at the Rocket Mortgage Classic. The following week, he shot a final-round 61 to win the Wyndham Championship despite opening the tournament with a quadruple-bogey 8. That victory gave him entry into the 2022 FedEx Cup Playoffs.

Kim qualified for the International team at the 2022 Presidents Cup; he won two and lost three of the five matches he played, and was hailed by the media as one of the stars of the event due to his entertaining play.

In October 2022, Kim won the Shriners Children's Open in Las Vegas, Nevada; in doing so, he became the second youngest two-time PGA Tour winner behind Ralph Guldahl, and the first player to win twice on tour before the age of 21 since Tiger Woods in 1996.

In October 2023, Kim won the Shriners Children's Open for the second consecutive time, joining Byron Nelson as the only golfers to have won the same PGA Tour event twice in the same season.

In July 2026, Kim won the Genesis Scottish Open for his first win since 2023.

Personal life Kim's nickname Tom is derived from Thomas the Tank Engine.
