Tom Kim Credits Tiger Woods After Scottish Open Win, Ending Three-Year Drought

Tom Kim recently captured his fourth PGA Tour title at the Genesis Scottish Open, marking a significant return to form after a three-year period without a win. The 24-year-old delivered a bogey-free 64 in the final round, culminating an emotional journey that saw him largely outside the world’s top 100 for much of the past two seasons. His victory at the Renaissance Club was a dramatic one, as he overcame overnight leaders Matt Fitzpatrick and Michael Thorbjornsen to claim the trophy.

Following his win, Kim shared insights into a supportive relationship with golf icon Tiger Woods. Kim, who is part of Woods' team in the TGL, noted that he has frequently sought advice from Woods on various aspects of his game. He highlighted Woods' character by revealing that the first person to text him after his three-year winless streak ended was Tiger Woods, underscoring Woods' care and attention to his fellow professionals.

Kim's performance has drawn attention, with his current price to win The Open Championship standing at +5500 (DraftKings). Meanwhile, Matt Fitzpatrick, one of the players Kim surpassed in the final round, is currently priced at +1750 (DraftKings) for The Open Championship. Tiger Woods, a central figure in Kim's recent success, holds a price of +15000 (Bovada) for the Masters Tournament.
