Two Korean golfers, Kim Si-woo and Tom Kim, shared 14th place at the PGA Tour playoffs finale in Atlanta on Sunday. Both players posted a nine-under 271, finishing seven strokes behind world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, who claimed the championship title. The Tour Championship, a playoff event for the top-30 FedEx Cup point earners, took place at East Lake Golf Club in Georgia.
Kim Si-woo, the tournament's fourth-place finisher, and Tom Kim, who ranked 29th, each earned $545,000 for their 14th-place tie. Both golfers consistently shot in the 60s throughout all four rounds, with Tom Kim achieving a third straight two-under 68 in his final round, while Kim Si-woo hit a 69 in his final round after shooting a 65 in the third round.
Kim Si-woo, 31, has been a standout player this year, securing 11 top-10 finishes, ranking second only to Scheffler's 13. No other player has matched Kim's performance, leading the tour with 55 rounds in the 60s and more sub-par rounds than any other player.
