Scottie Scheffler’s caddie Ted Scott has sent a classy message to Tom Kim on Instagram after the world number one defeated the South Korean in a play-off to win the Travelers Championship on Sunday.
Tom Kim further proved that he has an unbelievable career ahead of him after a brilliant performance at TPC River Highlands, with the 22-year-old opening the tournament with an -8 62 on Thursday.
Ultimately, he was unable to prevent Scottie Scheffler from securing his sixth win of the season, with the 27-year-old securing victory on the first play-off hole in Connecticut.
Kim suggested that Scheffler immediately offered some kind words after winning on Sunday, and the man on his bag has also reached out to the youngster with his own praise.
Scottie Scheffler’s caddie praises Tom Kim after Travelers Championship
Scheffler will probably be the first person to tell you just how important caddie Ted Scott has been to his success over the last couple of years.
And Scott has responded to Kim’s Instagram post following the Travelers Championship to laud the conduct of the two-time Shriners Children’s Open champion…
Such a bright future ahead
Kim can certainly take a lot of positives from this performance, with Scheffler competing in his first play-off on the PGA Tour since 2022.
Some would have always felt that Scheffler was going to get the job done at some stage on Sunday, so it is testament to what a promising talent Kim is that Scheffler could not win the event inside 72 holes.
Kim has already won three times on the PGA Tour despite only turning 22 last week, so there is so much time for him to improve further and make sure that he is regularly competing with the likes of Scheffler, Xander Schauffele and Rory McIlroy in the biggest events.
He has been so impressive on the course over the last few years, particularly since sparking the International team into life at the 2022 Presidents Cup.
As it turns out, many between the ropes have clearly been just as impressed by Kim.
