Bryson DeChambeau got slaughtered for doing what Tom Kim did as unwritten rule broken

Tom Kim’s reaction during the Presidents Cup mirrored a situation that Bryson DeChambeau once faced, with both golfers drawing attention for similar violations of an unwritten rule in golf. Playing alongside Si Woo Kim for the International Team, Tom Kim grew visibly frustrated on the seventh hole when his partner’s ball landed just three feet from the cup, only to be denied a “gimme” by Team USA’s Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele.

Kim’s sarcastic response echoed DeChambeau’s own frustrations from a previous incident, as both players were caught in the crossfire of what is typically seen as an unspoken gesture of sportsmanship on the golf course.

Despite the tension, this wasn’t an isolated moment of friction between Kim and the American duo. As the match continued, the incident became a flashpoint, with Kim’s reaction reflecting a broader issue with how sportsmanship is interpreted in such high-stakes tournaments. This kind of interaction isn’t uncommon in team golf events, but it reignited discussions around the nuances of courtesy and respect, especially when emotions run high in competitive environments like the Presidents Cup.
