Breaking down Tom Kim's Tiger Woods-like start to PGA Tour career after victory at Shriner's Open
CBSN
The No. 15 player in the world is maybe the hottest player -- and personality -- on the PGA Tour at the moment
Tom Kim is having a moment. The 20-year-old Korean known for his love of fast food and his choice of the name "Tom" because of his affection for a children's play train by the same name is suddenly accomplishing things that haven't been accomplished since trains were the primary means of transportation for most of the world.
After winning the Wyndham Championship in August in just his 14th start on the PGA Tour, Kim crushed at the Presidents Cup, where his 2-3-0 record belied the reality that nobody was a bigger star and nobody changed the perception of their future more than him. Then he took Sunday's Shriners Children's Open over Patrick Cantlay, and suddenly he's the No. 15 player in the world while winning two PGA Tour events faster (18 PGA Tour events) than Tiger Woods (20 events).
