S.H. Kim

27-Year-Old Golfer
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Kim lost a one-hole playoff to ultimately notch a runner-up result in the 2025 KFT season opener, but he avenged the defeat with a win in May at the AdventHealth Championship, securing a PGA Tour card for 2026 after finishing just 113th in the 2024 FedExCup standings. The 27-year-old Korean ranked top 10 on the KFT in both total driving and birdie or better conversion percentage, posting a 27.6 percent par-breaker rate. Read Past Outlooks
Tied for 13th at Sony Open
January 18, 2026
Kim posted a two-under 68 in the final round at the Sony Open in Hawaii to finish tied for 13th.
ANALYSIS
Kim started the final round poorly with bogeys on the second and fourth holes before recovering with an eagle on the par-5 ninth, and he went two-under on the back nine to stay in the top-15 on the leaderboard. He finished near the bottom of the field in SG: Off the Tee (minus-1.13) but ranked sixth in SG: Putting (5.29) and 18th in SG: Around the Green (1.35). It was his best finish in a PGA Tour event since the CJ Cup Byron Nelson in May of 2024 (T4) and moved him up to 150th in the OWGR. Kim is in the field for The American Express in La Quinta, California next week.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Kim had an uneven rookie season on Tour with his only two top-10s coming in the fall against weaker competition. Neverthless, he did make a decent 22-of-36 cuts with nine top-25 finishes. The 25-year-old was top-50 in driving distance, strokes-gained off-the-tee, around-the-green and putting, but he'll need to vastly improve his iron play as he lost nearly a half a stroke per round on approach. That's certainly within the realm of possibility given that he's young and now has a year under his belt, but the poor approach numbers are cause for concern.
Kim had already recorded a trio of top-3 finishes on the Korn Ferry Tour by the end of March, so his summer was relatively stress-free with his first PGA Tour card clinched fairly early for 2022-23. Nonetheless, he added two more top-15 results during the KFT Finals at the Albertsons Boise Open and the Nationwide Children's Hospital Championship, so he made nearly $300K through 22 events on the KFT. Kim also made one start on the PGA Tour during the 2021-22 season, tying for 32nd at the limited-field CJ Cup. At just 23 years old, Kim already owns several impressive professional wins on an international stage, including victories at the 2021 Japan PGA Championship and the 2020 KPGA Championship.
