Si Woo Kim earned his first PGA TOUR card at age 17.

Si Woo Kim is 21 and just won The Player's Championship.
I was feeling pretty good about myself until now.

Si Woo Kim's translator has smiled exactly one more time than he has today. I'm really gunning for you Kimmy boy, but you're making it hard

The youth movement in golf? Just took a turn for younger yet, with Si Woo Kim, 21, winning Players Championship.
