Tom Kim returned to the PGA Tour winner’s circle after three years, firing a perfect final round of 64 on Sunday to win the Genesis Scottish Open.
Kim earns his fourth career victory and returns to the spotlight as one of the sport’s best young players at just 24 years old.
The win is also an increasingly rare event on the PGA Tour as Kim won with the same Scotty Cameron blade putter he used in his first win at the 2022 Wyndham Championship. Kim is the second player this season to win with a blade putter, joining Matt Fitzpatrick, who has won three times.
Kim has used many different putters since his early career success, including both blades and mallets, but he insists that his best play is with blades. This week, he was 20 years old on the field, taking 3.658 strokes on the greens.
The South Korean played well again this week, ranking 9th in Strokes Gained: Off the Tee (3.079). Kim quickly transitioned to Titleist’s new GTS3 driver, switching to the Valero Texas Open. In testing, Kim noticed consistent spins and an increase in ball speed.
While Kim likes to see the ball fall to the right, he actually adjusted the front weight track of his driver this week to move his first line just a touch too far left, back to center.
After taking two months to achieve its first victory, the GTS driver line-up, who quickly became the hottest driver in the Tour, now has three wins in the last six events.
This week, Kim also chose to use both the GTS3 5-wood and the T200 2-iron by dropping his sand core, something we saw Tommy Fleetwood do as well. Kim has been going back and forth between three- and four-wedge setups this season, but the three-wedge setup allows him to keep two fairway woods and a hybrid or iron. The utility iron got the call for this week’s links setup.
For more on Kim’s detailed setup, read on below.
