Michael Kim Doesn’t Like Viktor Hovland After He Handed Him ‘Disappointing’ TOUR Championship Exit

One tiny swing tweak here or there might’ve totally flipped the script for Michael Kim. But it didn’t pan out that way. In his FedExCup debut, Kim came agonizingly close to making it to the final stretch of the playoffs at the 2025 TOUR Championship. He played smoothly up until Saturday’s even-par 70, but that wasn’t enough to grab one of the 30 spots for next week in Atlanta – he ended up at No. 31, thanks to a fellow pro’s last-minute birdie putt.

In a recent recap on X, Kim shed light on both these situations. First, talking about his Sunday performance, Kim wrote, “ Man it’s difficult to describe the feeling of finishing 31. It’s not as painful as some of the moments I’ve had in my career when I’ve lost my card [2020-21 season] but it’s this dull disappointing knot in my heart.”
