2 S. Koreans make International Team for Presidents Cup

Kim Si-woo and Tom Kim have been selected for the International Team competing in the upcoming Presidents Cup, a biennial match play event where international stars compete against American players. The final roster of the International Team was determined on Tuesday following the Tour Championship, the PGA Tour's concluding playoff event over the weekend.

Kim Si-woo, currently ranked No. 13 globally, is the highest-ranked International Team participant and will participate in his fourth Presidents Cup. Tom Kim, ranked 30th, is a returning competitor for the third time. The Korean duo is accompanied by Ryan Fox from New Zealand, Hideki Matsuyama from Japan, Min Woo Lee from Australia, and Adam Scott from Australia.

Kim Si-woo has achieved the second-most top-10 finishes on the PGA Tour this season with 11, and leads the tour with 55 rounds in the 60s and 66 rounds under-par. Tom Kim secured his first PGA Tour title at the Genesis Scottish Open in July, marking his first victory since October 2023, and has produced four top-20 finishes in six tournaments since then. This year's Presidents Cup is shaping up to be an exciting encounter.
