F-21: Top 60 points leaders in the Official World Golf Ranking as of May 19
Kim, a former standout at the University of California-Berkeley and a member of the victorious 2013 USA Walker Cup Team, will make a third U.S. Open start thanks to a resurgence on the PGA Tour in 2025. Kim owns five top-15 finishes this season, including a share of second in the WM Open in Arizona. He also contended in the Arnold Palmer Invitational Presented by MasterCard at Bay Hill in early March. Kim tied for 17th in the 2013 U.S. Open at Merion Golf Club to earn low-amateur honors. Kim was born in the Republic of Korea but raised in Southern California and starred on a Cal team with multiple PGA Tour winner Max Homa, 2013 U.S. Amateur runner-up Michael Weaver and 2013 U.S. Amateur semifinalist Brandon Hagy. That team won 11 times in the 2012-13 season, but lost in the semifinals of the NCAA Championships to Illinois. Kim won the 2013 Jack Nicklaus Award as well as the 2013 Haskins Award for being the nation's top collegiate golfer. Kim owns one PGA Tour victory since turning pro in 2013: the 2018 John Deere Classic by eight strokes.
