Tom Kim has been getting off to some bad starts opening tournaments. The South Korean golfer shot a 77 in Round 1 of the Valero Texas Open.. He could not recover well enough on Friday and missed his third cut of 2025. Kim does have three wins on the PGA Tour including twice at the Shriners Children's Open (2022 and 2023). The problem for the golfer is hitting errant shots off the tee and his putting compounds those errant shots. Kim ranks 123rd in strokes gained off the tee then 151st in strokes gained to putting. Those extra putts add up as Kim averages 29.03 putts per round (132nd on the tour). Worse, his scoring average has ballooned to a 70.97 mostly because of those slow starts. Tranquil weather may help Kim this week but then again, it may not. --Chris Wassel - RotoBaller
