Tom Kim A Risky Option For The Players Championship
8 months agoTom Kim's recent poor form will likely keep fantasy managers away from him this week, as a course as difficult as TPC Sawgrass is typically not a spot for a golfer to turn his game around. The 21-year-old South Korean star is coming off of back-to-back middling performances in the Florida Swing, finishing T62 at the Cognizant Classic and T52 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational last week. He lost over three strokes from tee-to-green in both starts, just the second time in his PGA Tour career where he's lost strokes in that category in consecutive weeks. Over the last 24 rounds, he ranks 85th in strokes gained off-the-tee, 89th on approach, 58th around the green, 83rd in Bermuda putting, and outside of the top-100 in opportunities gained and bogey avoidance. Kim also lost strokes on approach and in the short game in his only Players start last year en route to a T51 finish. Fantasy managers may want to skip over Kim's name this week and wait to roster him until he displays better recent form.
