PGA Tour Pro Michael Kim Publishes Fineable Tour Offenses on X

While Michael S. Kim is hardly known on the PGA Tour, the tour pro now has almost 120,000 followers on X (Twitter). The reason for this comparatively high figure is his informative and entertaining posts on the platform. He is currently attracting attention with the publication of fineable offenses on the tour.

PGA Tour: Michael Kim offers insight into fineable Tour offenses

Michael S. Kim celebrated the only major success of his professional golf career to date with a victory at the 2018 John Deere Classic on the PGA Tour. It is therefore not surprising that the tour pro, who has played on the Korn Ferry Tour in the meantime, has not achieved any extraordinary fame with his sporting achievements. On X (Twitter), however, Kim’s number of followers is constantly growing: Almost 120,000 accounts now follow the US American’s informative and entertaining posts on the platform, where he reports on his everyday life as a professional golfer. Kim is currently causing a stir with his publication of fineable offenses on the PGA Tour, including slow play and vulgar terms. The 30-year-old thus provides an insight into the little-known details of how and why the PGA Tour punishes its players.

According to Michael Kim, the PGA Tour penalizes slow play particularly severely: A player who is in a flight that is issued a penalty for slow play ten times will receive a fine of 50,000 US dollars. Each additional warning adds 5,000 US dollars. This happens more often than is known, but no player talks about it for fear of negative reactions from the public. According to Kim, the fine is even to be doubled next year. Other fines include vulgar language and swearing on live television, unclean handling of the pitch (raking the bunker and repairing uneven surfaces) and inappropriate behavior towards volunteers. There was a particularly curious case of a fine on the Korn Ferry Tour: There, players allegedly left water on a tree due to a lack of toilets, whereupon a local resident complained. According to Kim, however, all proceeds from fines are used by the PGA Tour for charitable purposes, reason enough for him to “maybe [use] more slow play.”

From Spectator to Caddie: Four Caddies in just One Day for PGA Tour Player

C.T. Pan’s caddie ribbon adorned more than just one caddie at the RBC Canadian Open on Sunday and was passed on to new hands like a baton. In total, it was passed on three times, meaning that a total of four caddies were at the professional’s side.

Pan and his caddie Mike “Fluff” Cowan already had 54 holes behind them on the PGA Tour. The two have only recently become a team since “Fluff” parted company with Jim Furyk, at whose side he played golf tournaments for 25 years. The cut they made and their position in the top half of the leaderboard showed that they made a good team. On Sunday morning, however, the two parted ways: the caddie fell on the third hole and was unable to finish the round alongside Pan. A veritable relay race ensued.

PGA Tour: A caddie’s bib as a baton

Shortly after “Fluff’s” fall, C.T. Pan’s flight partner Shane Lowry was carrying his own bag, and Lowry’s caddie Darren Reynolds was carrying Pan’s bag. This, of course, was not a permanent state of affairs and that’s where Paul Emerson came in, who quickly went from spectator to caddie. Emerson offered his help when Pan accompanied the injured man to the medics: “I helped Fluff get the bib off, threw it on and started walking up the hole,” said Emerson. However, he didn’t last long. After around 30 minutes, he gave up his task.

Good performance despite chaotic circumstances

From then on, the shirt adorned the upper body of a member of the caddie team, Michael Campbell. But even he was not to remain at Pan’s side for long. In the end, Al Riddell, Paul Barjon’s caddie, took over the shirt for the back nine and finished the final round of the RBC Canadian Open together with Pan. Player and caddie knew each other from before. Despite all the circumstances, Pan played a 69 and finished tied 35th. The highlight of his round: an eagle on the par-4 12th.

At the start of the back nine, Shane Lowry laughingly remarked that Pan was probably setting a record with this round.

PGA Tour live

Through the Golf Post Live Blog you can follow all results on the PGA Tour live. Alongside the DP World Tour (formerly the European Tour), the PGA Tour is the world’s largest tournament series in men’s professional golf. The tour attracts prize money that is just as high as the level of the international elite that comes together at quite a few of the tournaments. The annual highlights of the season are the four major tournaments (co-sanctioned by the DP World Tour), the Players Championship and the final FedExCup playoffs, which conclude the season every year. Signature events were created for this purpose. These include the three FedExCup playoff tournaments, The Sentry, the invitational tournaments (Genesis Invitational, Arnold Palmer Invitational and Memorial Tournament) and four other tournaments, which can change annually.

The PGA Tour has gained its importance primarily through its ability to retain top players through the attractiveness of the tournaments and the size of the prize money, which has risen steadily in recent years. The FedExCup is the American equivalent of the European Race to Dubai, with players collecting points throughout the season until the FedExCup winner is crowned in three tournaments in August. The FedExCup playoffs consist of three tournaments: the FedEx St. Jude Championship, the BMW Championship and the final Tour Championship. The winner of the Tour Championship also becomes the winner of the FedEx Cup and secures the record jackpot of 25 million US dollars.
