Tom Kim moves six spots to No. 4 in International Team standings with win at Genesis Scottish Open
Australia’s Min Woo Lee improves to No. 2 in standings with runner-up finish
CHICAGO — Tom Kim made his long-awaited return to the winner’s circle Sunday after defeating a stacked field at the Genesis Scottish Open, improving six spots to No. 4, trailing only Si Woo Kim (No. 1), Min Woo Lee (No. 2) and Hideki Matsuyama (No. 3) in the International Team standings.
Kim clinched his fourth PGA TOUR victory after carding a bogey-free 64 and closed with a two-stroke victory over fellow International Team member Min Woo Lee. He joined Matsuyama with the third-most PGA TOUR wins before the age of 25 by non-Americans on record and became the ninth international winner on TOUR this season.
Prior to his win, the 24-year-old and Seoul, South Korea native recorded two top-10 finishes this season (T6/ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic, 3rd/U.S. Open). His first victory on TOUR in nearly three years has helped solidify his position among the top International Team players to watch for Captain Geoff Ogilvy’s 2026 team.
Lee delivered a standout performance at the Genesis Scottish Open, earning his fourth top-10 of the season and second runner-up (T2/AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am). The 27-year-old continues to climb the International Team standings and is firmly positioned at No. 2 behind only Si Woo Kim.
Kim is seeking his third Presidents Cup (2022, 2024) while Lee is seeking his second (2024).
