Si Woo Kim Looking To Contend At Scottish Open
9 months agoSi Woo Kim has been a model of consistency for fantasy managers in recent months. The 29-year-old Korean star has only missed one cut in the 2024 calendar year, a string of golf that includes 18 events and 10 finishes inside of the top-25. Perhaps more impressive, he's only lost strokes ball-striking once this year. Whether or not Kim brings his putter with him this week will likely be the determining factor in his success. Over the last 24 rounds, he ranks inside of the top third in the field in weighted strokes gained off-the-tee, on approach, and around the green, yet he ranks 133rd in strokes gained putting. On the bright side, Kim has gained strokes putting in two consecutive events, a feat he hasn't accomplished since January of 2023. Kim profiles as a cut-maker with top-25 upside at the Scottish Open, and he could find himself in contention on Sunday if his recent positive putting travels to North Berwick.

Si Woo Kim Looks To Keep Building Momentum At The PLAYERS
3 weeks agoWith four top-25 finishes, Si Woo Kim has had a solid start to the 2025 season. This past week at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, he finished T-19. His best finish was at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, where he placed 12th. TPC Sawgrass is a venue where he has seen success with a victory back in 2017, where he won by three shots. The key to success at the stadium course is accuracy off the tee and precision with the short and mid irons. Kim ranks 24th in driving accuracy and 50th in strokes gained approach to green. After finishing T-6 in last year's PLAYERS championship, he is bound to contend again this week. He is a strong play in DFS at his $9,200 price tag.

Si Woo Kim A Value Play At Genesis Invitational
2 months agoSi Woo Kim will likely be a popular golfer for fantasy managers this week, and rightfully so. The 29-year-old South Korean is coming off a 12th-place showing at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am and a T21 at the WM Phoenix Open, and he also notched a T6 result at the Zozo Championship during the Fall Swing. The four-time PGA Tour winner could be in line another solid week at Torrey Pines, as he ranks 17th in good drive percentage, 15th on approach from 175-225 yards, 21st around-the-green, 17th in birdie-or-better percentage, and fourth in par 5 scoring over the last 36 rounds. While Kim did miss the cut at Torrey Pines at the Farmers Insurance Open three weeks ago, fantasy managers should look to capitalize on his $7,100 DraftKings salary at the Genesis Invitational.

Si Woo Kim Showing Some Form Heading Into Phoenix
2 months agoIt's been a rough go of things for Si Woo Kim in recent starts before a 12th-place finish at Pebble Beach last week. His efforts gained strokes in all metrics, which should give him momentum heading to TPC Scottsdale, where Kim has a long competition history (making his 10th career appearance). It's a shame his record there is as poor as it is, with only one top 15. This layout seems ripe for how the South Korean plays the game, so he could add another one this week should the good form hang around.

Si Woo Kim Not Off To A Good 2025 Start
2 months agoSi Woo Kim has high standards for a golfer. The South Korean golfer has missed a cut so far in 2025 and has not been a factor in three events. This is a golfer that has won four times on the PGA Tour. Kim skipped the Farmers Insurance Open in 2024 but had consecutive Top 25 results previously. Kim's best results from 2024 was a tie for fifth at the BMW Championship in August. This season has been more of the same for Kim. The overall numbers are pretty good until one gets to putting. That is where Kim has fallen off slightly below average (140th in 2024 at -0.218). Kim is getting around 70% of his shots on the green regularly but that number was 65.4% in 2024. That is a concern at Torrey Pines where approaches are essential.
