Tom Kim and Scottie Scheffler’s heated exchange at the 2024 Presidents Cup
Scottie Scheffler and South Korea’s Tom Kim were involved in a heated exchange during the Presidents Cup. A disagreement broke out between Scottie Scheffler and Tom Kim following Kim’s excited reaction to making a 27-foot birdie putt at the seventh hole. Kim yelled “Let’s go”, after the amazing shot, this spurred Scheffler to respond with a birdie of his own and a verbal jab saying, “What was that?”
Tensions went further when Kim quickly left the green after sinking a long putt at the eighth hole and what shocked the fans more was that he did not wait for Scheffler’s birdie attempt at the adjacent ninth tee. US assistant captain Kevin Kisner criticized this and said, “They took gamesmanship too far and over the line on sportsmanship and lost some integrity”. Sky Sports golf pundit Paul McGinley labeled the behavior ‘disrespectful’, but Kim later said that it wasn’t a big deal and he was just playing the game. “It wasn’t trying to be cheap or do anything like that. We were focused on our own game”, he said. So, what do you think about Scottie Scheffler’s personality? Let us know in the comment section below!
