It’s safe to say that Matt Kuchar’s actions at the Wyndham Championship this weekend have caught the attention of the golf world.

Instead of simply celebrating a brilliant first PGA Tour win for Aaron Rai – like Peter Finch did on social media – many fans have been left angry over Kuchar’s decision.

The American decided to not finish out his final hole on what was a draining day for everyone at the Wyndham, with the majority playing two rounds in the same day.

Regardless, Kuchar stuck to his guns and returned this morning to make par and finish a tie for 12th.

However, his actions were downright bizarre and even one of his fellow PGA players has branded the actions of Kuchar ‘wild’ and ‘weird’.

Michael Kim not impressed with Matt Kuchar’s decision at the Wyndham Championship

Taking to X to give his reflections on the week as a whole at the Wyndham, the ever vocal Kim got to the point of Kuchar.

And it’s safe to say he was just as baffled as the rest of us.

“The Kuchar thing was def weird. I’ve heard his explanation and he didn’t know Aaron had birdied 18, and thought his playing partner Max still had a chance to win.

“Since max (if he still had a chance) wasn’t going to finish, he thought why would I force it when it’s so dark out. I assume he already marked his ball and couldn’t change his mind when he saw Max decided to finish?

“Either way, it’s wild to me that he chose not to finish. He’s not trying to get into next week at that point. Idk if they had to cut or roll the greens. I assume a rules official, some range, golf course staff had to come back. What a weird ending haha.”

It’s hard to say if we’ve ever seen such behaviour like this in the past but it’s going to haunt Kuchar for a bit.

It took the shine away from Aaron Rai’s win, while also probably didn’t sit too right with Max Greyserman either, who had seen a huge lead slip away out of nowhere.

Rest assured, this will be brought up in the future and Kuchar will surely be looking back and thinking ‘what was I doing?’.
