There have been a lot of friendships in the golf world but there’s one that stands out among all of them. Tom Kim’s rise to golf stardom was very unexpected and amazing to see but it was his off-course achievement that made the headlines. The Seoul native formed an unbreakable bond with fellow golfer Scottie Scheffler in his years of rising as a golf star but before that, Kim was friends with another golfing sensation.
Kim talked about his friendship with Jordan Spieth and Scheffler in an interview with Golf Monthly sometime ago and from what fans have read, it sure sounds like fun. Per the report, when Kim got a place in Dallas in the Asian community he quickly became friends with fellow golfers Jordan Spieth and Scheffler who also lived there. And their bromance quickly hit the news with Spieth saying just amazing things about Kim. “It’s fun to be around his youthfulness, seeing how much he’s enjoying the newness of his position, how much he’s enjoying all of it”.
Both the golfer quickly became bros and Kim even spent last Christmas at Spieth’s place. After the 2023 Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas Kim flew back to Dallas with Spieth and jokingly referred to it as “Jordan air, which is quite hilarious, to be honest. When Spieth realized Kim would be alone for the holiday season the golfer very generously invited him to join his Christmas dinner. Kim revealed that he loved his time with Spieth and his son Sammy. “My family wasn’t home and I was kind of by myself. So I got to spend some time with the Spieths and kind of babysit Sammy, which was really cool.”
