Tom Kim heads to Asian Games with military service on the line

Original: tom kim

Golfer Tom Kim is turning his attention from the Presidents Cup to the 2026 Asian Games, where a gold medal could earn him an exemption from mandatory South Korean military service. The stakes are high for the young PGA Tour star, whose career would face a major disruption without the exemption, and golf fans are closely following his bid.

Why now: Kim's participation in the Asian Games carries major personal stakes due to South Korea's mandatory military service requirement.
