It was only a few days ago when this PGA Tour star made a joke out of himself with something he did in front of Tiger Woods. And now, he has got all eyes on him once again for a brand new reason.

The PGA Championship is nothing less than a huge package of entertainment for the fans. Thanks to a few players, fans don’t have to depend on just talented players to enjoy the game thoroughly. Rather, there are some special names who have been giving fans free laughs with their unintended yet funny acts on the course.
A recent video of PGA Tour star Tom Kim has been going viral on Twitter displaying his reaction to his own act of embarrassment. As it turned out, the golfer got caught in a swamp while looking for his ball on the sixth hole at Oak Hill. He even made a surprise appearance hip-deep in mud as he came out in front of the cameras. And what he did next was even more hysterical.

Without wasting much time, Kim decided to wash off the dirt and immediately went for a mud bath in a nearby stream, wiping himself with a sweater! That’s pretty much what he did. But little did he know that it was all caught on camera, let alone broadcasted live on TV. And as expected, as soon as he found out that all his fans were aware of his laughable act, he just couldn’t stop laughing in embarrassment. ‘Oh no!’, he said as soon as he looked at his phone and found out about his newly found mud fame!

Not to forget, it was only last month when Kim seemingly embarrassed himself at the Masters Tournament in front of the GOAT, Tiger Woods. The golfer was part of the tradition of skipping no 16 through the water at Augusta standing in the same group as Woods, Rory McIlroy, and Fred Couples. However, rather than skipping the ball, the 21-year-old hit it hard enough for it to make it across to the green. Notably, he was heavily trolled by the fans back then and is still going through the same for a different reason overall.
