Tom Kim Ends 1,001-Day Drought with Scottish Open Victory

After a period of struggle, Tom Kim secured his fourth PGA Tour title at the 2026 Genesis Scottish Open, ending a nearly three-year winless streak with an emotional performance.

Tom Kim captured the 2026 Genesis Scottish Open on Sunday, marking his first PGA Tour victory in 1,001 days. The 24-year-old South Korean displayed significant emotion in the scoring tent at the Renaissance Club, reflecting on a period since his last win. Kim's final round of 6-under 64 secured a two-shot victory over Min Woo Lee, pushing his career earnings past $20 million.

Kim burst onto the PGA Tour scene in 2022, becoming one of the youngest winners since World War II with his initial victory, followed by a second win just two months later. While flashes of his talent were evident in events like the Presidents Cup and the U.S. Open, he had not returned to the winner's circle until this recent triumph in Scotland. Following his win, Kim stated, "I played as good as I could have down the stretch with the pressure."

This win makes Kim the first South Korean to claim the Scottish Open title. He also joins an exclusive group as only the fourth non-American player to achieve four PGA Tour victories before turning 25. The other golfers to reach this milestone are Rory McIlroy, Sergio Garcia, and Hideki Matsuyama.

Looking ahead to The Open Championship, Tom Kim's current price is +6400 (DraftKings). Rory McIlroy, one of the esteemed players Kim now shares a record with, is a strong contender at +850 (FanDuel) for The Open. Hideki Matsuyama is also listed for The Open Championship at +10000 (FanDuel). Sergio Garcia, another name on that exclusive list, currently has a price of +20000 (FanDuel) for the Masters Tournament.
