Amateur Kris Kim, 16, lines up his shot near the 12th green during the first round of The CJ Cup Byron Nelson at TPC Craig Ranch, Thursday, May 2, 2024, in McKinney, Texas.MCKINNEY — Kris Kim has exams next week. The plan, he said, is to prepare for them on his flight from Texas back to England this weekend. It’s an abnormal study hall for a teenager, but so is the reason for international travel in the first place..
Kim grew up a fan of Northern Ireland’s Rory McIlroy, whose 2014 PGA Championship win was among Kim’s earliest professional golf memories. He was introduced to the sport as a 5-year-old by his mother, who’s been the only swing coach he’s ever had, and he “ended up falling in love with it.”He won the R&A Boys Amateur Championship and the English Boys’ Under 16 Open Amateur Stroke Play Championship last year and placed eighth at the European Young Masters.
Kim, who is represented by Trinifold Sports, signed a name, image and likeness deal with Taylor Made last week, the first English amateur to do so. He signed similar deals with Under Armor and CJ Cup, which sponsored his exemption into this week’s field at TPC Craig Ranch.
