​Tom Kim secured the biggest victory of his PGA Tour career on Sunday by winning the Genesis Scottish Open at The Renaissance Club in North Berwick, Scotland. After weather delays forced part of the field to finish the tournament’s third round on Sunday morning, the final day turned into a grueling test for the competitors. Kim navigated the day with poise, delivering a bogey-free, 6-under 64 in the final round to finish at 17-under for the tournament and claim his fourth PGA Tour title. Over the weekend, he posted just one bogey as he continued his remarkable return to the upper echelon of the sport.
Entering the week, Kim had finished 108th in last season’s FedEx Cup standings, but 2026 has provided a strong resurgence. With this victory, he rises to 32nd in the standings heading into next week’s final major championship, signaling that his gearshift back toward peak form is becoming more solidified.
In second place, Min Woo Lee finished alone at 15-under, while Keita Nakajima, Johnny Keefer, Matt Fitzpatrick and Robert MacIntyre all tied for third at 13-under. The result further reshapes the major qualification picture, as three Open Championship spots were available to the highest finishers not already exempt.
Johnny Keefer, Michael Thorbjornsen and Victor Perez secured those final Open spots, marking Keefer and Thorbjornsen’s first career appearances in the event. A final Open berth remains to be decided Monday via a last-chance qualifying event at Royal Birkdale, the Open site for next week. The 18-hole qualifier will feature 12 players bidding for the tournament’s final place, including Aldrich Potgieter, Matti Schmid and Wesley Bryan.
As the Open Championship field takes shape, Kim’s performance in Scotland stands out as a pivotal moment in what could be a defining stretch of his career. The victory not only solidifies his status as a premier talent on the PGA Tour but also injects fresh momentum into his pursuit of major success.
