​In 2022, Tom Kim became the second-youngest golfer to win a PGA Tour event since World War II when he captured the Wyndham Championship trophy. He claimed his third PGA Tour victory in 2023 at the Shriners Children’s Open, and then he waited more than 1,000 days for his next win. Kim’s triumph at the 2026 Genesis Scottish Open this weekend showcased his resilience, traits that contrast with his well-known cheery demeanor. He carded a final-round 6-under 74 to finish at 17 under for the tournament, two strokes clear of second-place finisher Min Woo Lee.
After a difficult 2025 season that produced only one top-10 finish, Kim has rebounded impressively, posting three top tens since the start of May this year. The gains have come with a sizable payday, culminating in a significant payout at the Genesis Scottish Open. The total purse for the 2026 Genesis Scottish Open stood at $9 million, with the winner earning $1.575 million, which represents 17.5 percent of the total purse.
