Kim Si-woo ({{langx|ko|김시우}}; born 28 June 1995), also known as Si Woo Kim, is a South Korean professional golfer who plays on the PGA Tour. He won the 2017 Players Championship to become the youngest ever winner of the event at age 21.{{cite web|title=New Kim on the block|url=https://tnp.straitstimes.com/sports/golf/new-kim-block|website=The New Paper|access-date=16 May 2017|date=16 May 2017}}

Professional career

Kim finished tied for 20th at the 2012 PGA Tour Qualifying School. He was only 17 years, 5 months, 6 days old at the time, the youngest player to graduate from the PGA Tour's qualifying school.{{cite web |url=http://www.pgatour.com/players/player.37455.si-woo-kim.html/profile |title=Si Woo Kim – Profile |publisher=PGA Tour |access-date=4 August 2015}} Due to PGA Tour rules, he could not become a PGA Tour member until he turned 18, midway through the 2013 season. In eight PGA Tour starts in 2013, Kim missed the cut in seven tournaments and withdrew from the eighth.{{cite web |url=http://www.pgatour.com/players/player.37455.si-woo-kim.html/season |title=Si Woo Kim – Season |publisher=PGA Tour |access-date=4 August 2015}} He also played in seven Web.com Tour events in 2013, making four cuts.

Kim played on the Web.com Tour in 2014, making 15 of 19 cuts including a third-place finish at the Cleveland Open. In 2015, he won his first Web.com Tour event, the Stonebrae Classic, in July.{{cite news |url=https://www.espn.com/golf/story/_/id/13285750/si-woo-kim-claims-webcom-tour-victory-playoff |title=Si Woo Kim wins Web.com Tour's Stonebrae Classic in playoff |work=ESPN |agency=Associated Press |date=20 July 2015}} He was the second-youngest winner in Web.com Tour history, after Jason Day. He finished 2015 in tenth place in the Web.com Tour money list,{{cite web |url=http://www.pgatour.com/webcom/stats/stat.02668.2015.html |title=2015 Web.com Tour Regular Season Money List |publisher=PGA Tour |access-date=22 August 2016}} to earn a place on the PGA Tour for 2016.

His first win on the PGA Tour came at the 2016 Wyndham Championship.{{cite news |url=http://www.espn.com/golf/story/_/id/17362113/si-woo-kim-captures-wyndham-championship-first-pga-tour-title |title=Si Woo Kim ties Wyndham scoring mark, claims first PGA Tour title |work=ESPN |agency=Associated Press |date=22 August 2016}} At 21, he was the season's youngest winner. His second win on the PGA Tour came at the 2017 Players Championship, beating Ian Poulter and Louis Oosthuizen by three-shots with a bogey-free 69 in his final round, becoming the second Korean to win the title after K. J. Choi in 2011.{{cite news |url=https://www.bbc.com/sport/golf/39916720 |title=Players Championship: Kim Si-woo holds off Ian Poulter to become youngest winner| date=15 May 2017 |work=BBC Sport |access-date=16 May 2017}} Ranked 73rd in the world prior to the Players Championship, Kim was the second-lowest ranked player to win the tournament, with 2002 winner Craig Perks ranked outside 200th before his win. Kim moved up to 28th in the world after the win.

Kim lost in a sudden-death playoff at the 2018 RBC Heritage in April. He had held the sole lead for large portions of the final round, but shot three over on the back nine, missing a series of makeable putts, including at the last to win the tournament outright, to fall into a playoff. He lost on the third extra hole of the playoff, when Satoshi Kodaira holed a lengthy birdie putt on the par-3 17th.

In January 2021, Kim won The American Express in La Quinta, California. Kim shot a final round 8-under 64 to win by one stroke over Patrick Cantlay and claim his third PGA Tour title. In August later that year, Kim tied for the lead with five other players after 72 holes at the Wyndham Championship. Kevin Kisner took the title in the playoff.{{cite news |title=Kevin Kisner wins Wyndham Championship after six-way playoff |url=https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/golf/kevin-kisner-wins-wyndham-championship-in-six-way-playoff/ar-AANlKej?ocid=uxbndlbing |date=August 15, 2021 |website=MSN |first=Todd |last=Kelly}}

In September 2022, Kim was selected for the International team in the 2022 Presidents Cup; he won three and lost one of the four matches he played.{{cite magazine |url=https://www.golfdigest.com/story/presidents-cup-grades-spieth-scheffler-kim-scott |magazine=Golf Digest |first=Joel |last=Beall |date=25 September 2022 |title=Presidents Cup 2022: Our grades for all 24 players, from an A+ for Spieth to an F for Scheffler |access-date=27 September 2022}}

In January 2023, Kim won the Sony Open in Hawaii. He birdied the final two holes to win by one shot over Hayden Buckley. It was his fourth PGA Tour victory.{{cite web |url=https://www.skysports.com/golf/news/12040/12787844/pga-tour-si-woo-kim-wins-sony-open-in-hawaii-with-two-late-birdies-englands-ben-taylor-finishes-fourth |website=Sky Sports |date=16 January 2023 |title=PGA Tour: Si Woo Kim wins Sony Open in Hawaii with two late birdies; England's Ben Taylor finishes fourth |access-date=16 January 2023}}
