Tom Kim and Si Woo Kim: Brothers or just two incredible talents? What's your take?

The 2024 Presidents Cup’s Team International duo, Si Woo Kim and Tom Kim took on Keegan Bradley and Wyndham Clark for Saturday morning fourball. The South Korean pros showed visible chemistry on the course, leading to confusion about them being brothers. What fueled it further was their shared last name. Well, they are not real brothers or cousins! But they do share a brother-like bond.

The Presidents Cup shared a video of Monday’s practice round on their Instagram. The video featured Si Woo Kim, Tom Kim, Sungjae Im, and Min Woo Lee having fun during the practice. A dancing Tom Kim around the hole after landing a putt, some random gestures to make it exciting, and pow-wowing into the air. The boys are a new breed, and the nobility surrounding the ethos of gentleman’s game doesn’t seem to put a dent in what they are bringing to the 15th edition of the Presidents Cup—entertainment, entertainment, and more entertainment!

Although the International Team lost to the United States by 17.5 to 12.5 last time, Si Woo Kim was the top scorer of the event. Following that, in the 2022 Shriners Children’s Open, Si Woo Kim revealed that he still talks about the 2022 Presidents Cup (Charlotte) with Tom Kim. “We still talk about the Presidents Cup, like some holes. Then I finish the hole, and Tom came over on 18 and I said, If you make that one, I got to ask you to go throw the hat like the last hole Saturday,” as revealed on Golf Digest.

Tom Kim indeed enjoys his time with Si Woo Kim; however, he isn’t the only one with whom Tom Kim shares a brotherly bond.

Scottie Scheffler is also Tom Kim’s brother on the greens

Scottie Scheffler and Tom Kim both share their birthdays, June 21. Last year, when they celebrated their birthday together, Kim was excited and shared a post on his Instagram. He was looking at the cake with anticipation; meanwhile, Scottie Scheffler had a big smile on his face. Kim captioned the post saying, “21st birthday and sharing it on the same day with one of my closest friends, big bro.” He also appreciated Scheffler a lot in that post, calling him “pretty much almost everything.”

Have an interesting take?

Not only that, Scottie Scheffler even consoled his brother on greens after Kim was brought to tears at the Paris Olympics. At the Presidents Cup, there were some concerns that the intense competition might have affected their relationship, but it didn’t. It happened when Scottie Scheffler and Russell Henley were playing against Sungjae Im and Tom Kim, and Scheffler landed a crucial birdie putt on 7th Hole and yelled, “What was that?” However, that was just in the heat of the moment, as Scheffler is one of the fiercest competitors on the greens.
