Tom Kim Faces Stiff Test Around Bay Hill
9 months ago2024 has provided Tom Kim with a mixed bag through the first two months of the campaign, as the 21-year-old star has seen his three consecutive top-35 finishes at marquee events in Los Angeles, Scottsdale, and Monterrey bookended with a missed cut at the American Express and a 62nd place finish last week around PGA National. Since ending his 2023 season on a torrid run of form, the all-around game has yet to show much sustainability to this point in the New Year, and Bay Hill's demanding routing will certainly put its fair share of strain on anyone coming in without their full arsenal. Kim did record a fairly successful debut here last season: finishing in a tie for 34th while gaining 4.1 strokes with his ball-striking, but he'll have to get his game squared away in a hurry if he hopes to improve upon that result in an elevated field this week.
