Player Analysis
Tom Kim

This includes noteworthy finishes such as third at the U.S. Open and winning the Genesis Scottish Open. He excels on Bermuda greens and leads the field in SG: Approach over the past 36 rounds, making him a promising bet.

He has notable finishes, including T6 in 2019, T9 in 2020, and T2 in 2022. Strong finishes this year further support his potential, with odds at Bookmaker reflecting a poised betting market.
