Watch Kim’s priceless reaction to World Cup upset
We all love coming off the golf course to good news. But what about coming off the golf course to hearing your country has just pulled off one of the biggest upsets in FIFA World Cup history to defy the odds and qualify for the last 16. Right, Tom Kim?
Step forward the South Korean, who produced a priceless reaction at the Hero World Challenge after discovering his nation had beaten Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal 2-1 to make it through to the knockout stages of football’s biggest competition.
Clearly an avid football fan as well as the PGA Tour’s newest star, here’s what happened when Kim found out his nation had done the impossible in Qatar…
“How did that happen?”
“Oh my god! We beat Portugal?”
“Goosebumps. Literally goosebumps.”
“That’s amazing. That news was probably way better than my golf.”
Sensational stuff from Kim. South Korea now play Brazil in the last 16 of the World Cup, with the 20-year-old no doubt thankful the PGA Tour is having a break in its schedule next week.
Netflix, if you’re listening, please send over a film crew to the Kim residence on Monday night.
