Tom Kim wins Asian Games gold, gains military service exemption
Original: Tom Kim wins Asian Games gold, earns exemption from military service
South Korean golfer Tom Kim won gold at the Asian Games, securing an exemption from South Korea's mandatory military service. Under South Korean law, athletes who win gold at the games receive relief from the roughly two-year conscription requirement, a significant career benefit for the young PGA Tour star. The victory adds to Kim's growing list of achievements in international golf.
Why now: Winning gold at the Asian Games carries major stakes for South Korean male athletes because it grants an exemption from mandatory military service.
