Tom Kim Breaks Locker After Playoff Loss in South Korea

South Korean PGA Tour player Tom Kim caused a stir after damaging his locker at the Jack Nicklaus Golf Club Korea in Incheon following a frustrating playoff loss at the Genesis Championship on Sunday. The locker door, which was ripped off its hinges, drew significant attention. Kim later publicly apologized for the incident.

The Genesis Championship was co-hosted by the DP World Tour and the KPGA Tour. Kim, a three-time PGA Tour winner, found himself in a playoff against fellow countryman An Byeong-hun. Kim was leading by one stroke heading into the final hole but missed a birdie putt on the par five, forcing a playoff with An. Both players returned to the 18th hole, where An made a birdie, while Kim suffered a bogey, resulting in his loss in the playoff. For An, this victory marked his first tournament win in nine years.

Tom Kim apologizes and takes full responsibility

Although Kim congratulated An after the loss, he later took out his frustration on his locker. There were reports that the KPGA was considering disciplinary action against him, but Kim insisted that the matter had already been resolved. He posted an apology on Instagram, clarifying that the damage was unintentional: “After the loss I was frustrated, yes absolutely… but I can assure you with absolute truth that I had no intent of damaging any part of the locker, not a single bit.” Kim also stated that he was willing to cover the repair costs and had reached out directly to the DP World Tour and the KPGA to address the situation.

Kim and An have already played as a team for South Korea at the Olympic Games in Paris this year and took part in the Presidents Cup together in Canada in September. For An, winning the Genesis Championship was his second title on the DP World Tour and marked the end of a successful season. The 33-year-old finished the year in 27th place in the world rankings and expressed his satisfaction with his performance: “It’s been a great year. I’ve put a lot of work in.”

PGA Tour: Joel Dahmen Penalized for Carrying Too Many Clubs

In a turn of events at the Shriners Children’s Open on the PGA Tour, Joel Dahmen was hit with a costly penalty during the first round. The American golfer found himself in violation of the rules for carrying too many clubs in his bag, resulting in a four-stroke penalty on Thursday.

The mistake came to light on the fourth tee, when Dahmen realized he had been playing with more than the allowed number of clubs. After spotting the infraction, he promptly called for a rules official to address the issue.

The leaderboard for the Shriners Children’s Open

Joel Dahmen Penalized for Exceeding Club Limit on the PGA Tour

According to the official rules of golf, a player is allowed a maximum of 14 clubs during a round.

The rule in question, Rule 4.1c(1), specifies:

If a player discovers they are in breach of this rule by carrying more than 14 clubs, they must remove the excess club(s) from play before making their next stroke.

  • If the player started the round with more than 14 clubs, they may choose which club(s) to declare out of play.
  • If the extra club(s) were added during the round, they must be declared out of play immediately.

The penalty for this violation is two strokes for each hole where the breach occurred, with a maximum of four penalty strokes applied for the round (two strokes added to each of the first two holes where the breach was discovered).

As a result, the pars Dahmen made on holes 1 and 2 were adjusted to double bogeys. He promptly removed a 4-iron from his bag to comply with the rule.

PGA TOUR Communications confirmed the penalty on social media, noting the severity of the infraction for the seasoned player.

The timing of the penalty couldn’t be worse for Dahmen, who is currently ranked 124th in the FedExCup standings. With his Tour card for next season on the line, he must finish within the top 125 to retain his status. So far, his FedExCup Fall campaign has been underwhelming, with finishes of T50, a missed cut, and T40 last week. After the penalty-laden first round, Dahmen posted a five-over 76, placing him in a tie for 131st.

New Rumor: LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman about to Be Replaced?

While talks about a possible collaboration between LIV Golf and the PGA Tour remain without concrete results, there is now a new rumor surrounding the league sponsored by the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund. As the Sports Business Journal (SBJ) reports based on unspecified sources, LIV Golf is looking for a successor to CEO Greg Norman. The news comes just a few weeks after the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, where PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan, DP World Tour CEO Guy Kinnings and PIF boss Yasir Al-Rumayyan played alongside Rory McIlroy.

The latter had already called for Norman’s resignation earlier this year in favor of better LIV-PGA cooperation, “I think Greg needs to go. I think he just needs to exit stage left. He’s made his mark but I think now is the right time to say you’ve got this thing off the ground but no one’s going to talk unless there’s an adult in the room that can actually try to mend fences.”

LIV Golf: Will Greg Norman Be Replaced soon?

As SBJ reports, the search for a new CEO has been underway for several months. The London agency “Odgers Berndtson” is probably leading the search for the PIF and is looking at sports stars worldwide. This agency has already led the search for new directors and CEOs for Saudi Arabia in other sports, most recently for the soccer club Newcastle United in July of this year.

According to SBJ, Brett Yormak was supposed to have been a possible candidate. The Big 12 Commissioner is said to have already been in talks with the agency, but these were unsuccessful according to reports. The Big 12 is an American collage league consisting of 16 universities with various sports disciplines, including American football and golf.

It is not yet clear exactly what will happen next for Greg Norman. However, international media speculation suggests that he will remain with LIV Golf in the future, but in a new role.
