After completing 12 holes in the second round at TPC River Highlands, he cited a back injury and exited the tournament—a tough break given his solid first-round 1‑over 71.
Today, June 28, marks his 30th birthday (born June 28, 1995), and the PGA Tour didn't miss the chance to celebrate. This morning, they shared a personalized birthday greeting.
'Happy birthday, Si Woo! Please celebrate accordingly.' They posted.
Alongside the message, they reposted a video clip from his viral moment at the Presidents Cup last year.
After sinking a clutch chip, Kim famously ran around the green and mimicked Steph Curry's 'Night‑Night' celebration, hands to his head as if sleeping.

That chip, which tied his match on the 16th hole, was a defining highlight of the Internationals' comeback during the event. The celebration became viral golf gold, emblematic of Kim's flair and sense of humor.

He is not participating in the ongoing Rocket Classic event, so he will have ample time to spend this day with friends and family. Kim is part of the field at next week's John Deere Classic.
Kim's wife is fellow golfer Ji Hyun Oh, a South Korean professional with seven KLPGA wins, who turned pro in 2014 and joined the Korean LPGA Tour in 2014. They got married in December of 2022.
"I will now be Kim's wife, rather than a professional golfer." Oh confessed back when Kim won the Sony Open.

"When we were dating, we had to spend so much time apart from each other. Now that we're married, I don't have to worry about being away from him. This is the happiest moment of my life."

Cowboys Fans Vote On Six Levels of 'What Would Mean Success' in 2025
Cowboys Fans Vote On Six Levels of 'What Would Mean Success' in 2025 originally appeared on Athlon Sports. FRISCO - Which way to the bar? No, not that "bar,'' even though the Dallas Cowboys often drive their fans to drinkin'. Advertisement We mean "the bar of expectations'' under new head coach Brian Schottenheimer. The Cowboys have the "Blow It Up'' plan (and a 7-10 season) behind them. There is the ever-present criticism of owner Jerry Jones and QB Dak Prescott, of course, but there is also a much-celebrated "culture shift'' under new coach Brian Schottenheimer. Many critics have predicted a modest to underwhelming season for Dallas in Schottenheimer's first year at the helm. Others have projected a successful first campaign. And why? But, Cowboys Nation, before we predict "success,'' we have to define it. And our Mike Fisher in the Fish Report below is here to help. Advertisement So, you vote. Pick one of the six as you decide in your own heads and hearts where the "bar of expectations'' should be for the 2025 Dallas Cowboys. Your choices ... 1. BETTER 'N: Last year Dallas was 7-10. Be better than that, and forge a foundation going forward, and that's enough. 2. PLAYOFFS IN: Is a playoff berth enough? Damn right - especially climbing out of the brutal NFC East. 3. PLAYOFFS WIN: Postseason wins are a real measure. Dallas has gotten their plenty. Win one. 4. "TRUE SUPER BOWL CONTENTION:'' What is "rue Super Bowl contention''? You define it. And pick No. 4 if that's what must be. Advertisement 5. NFC CHAMPIONSHIP APPEARANCE: End that 30-year drought, please. 6. SUPER BOWL! Because in Dallas, that's all that really matters. So there you go, Cowboys fans ... rock the vote!

Can Dak Prescott Finally Silence the Doubters?
Can Dak Prescott Finally Silence the Doubters? originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Dak Prescott is entering his 10th season as the starting quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys - the most valuable sports team in the world. Advertisement As part of the show? Over the past decade, Prescott has delivered numerous high points for the Cowboys, but his career has also seen its share of setbacks. As a result, opinions remain divided among fans and analysts regarding his true value as a franchise quarterback. But not in this case. Yahoo Sports' Charles McDonald ranked the top 10 quarterbacks going into the 2025 season and slotted Prescott at No. 7 on the list. On the surface, that doesn't seem too shocking. But ... On this list, Dak comes in ahead of NFC East rival quarterbacks Jalen Hurts, Jayden Daniels, and Russell Wilson. "Prescott (is a) legitimate floor-raiser ... Prescott is coming off the shakiest season of his career, which was the case before he went down with a hamstring injury. That said, it was an outlier for a quarterback who normally always gives his offense a chance to be competent no matter the circumstances," McDonald wrote. Advertisement Dallas strengthened Prescott's supporting cast this offseason by selecting offensive lineman Tyler Booker in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, and acquiring wide receiver George Pickens to form a potentially dangerous duo alongside CeeDee Lamb. Head coach Brian Schottenheimer and offensive coordinator Klayton Adams are committed to scheming up a dynamic rushing attack—one that, if successful, could open things up for Prescott and the passing game. With the proper weapons and scheme at his disposal Prescott will once again remind doubters he's an elite NFL quarterback. But better than the Philadelphia Eagles QB Hurts who has been in two Super Bowls in the last three years? Better than the Washington Commanders QB Daniels who won Rookie of the Year and captained his upstart team to the NFC title game? Advertisement If Dak is really that ... that's about as elite as it gets.

Where the Cowboys' Front Office Stands in the NFC East Hierarchy
Where the Cowboys' Front Office Stands in the NFC East Hierarchy originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Dallas Cowboys' front office, led by Jerry Jones and his son Stephen, has a well-established philosophy when it comes to roster building and they rarely buck their system. Advertisement Rather than spending big in free agency, the Cowboys remain committed to constructing their team through the NFL Draft. However, the Cowboys had a busy offseason—making trades to land wide receiver George Pickens, cornerback Kaiir Elam, and linebacker Kenneth Murray. Dallas also signed veteran running backs Miles Sanders and Javonte Williams. Dallas has had a successful offseason by filling notable roster holes through the draft and offseason acquisitions, but where does the front office rank among their divisional foes? 1. Philadelphia Eagles As the defending Super Bowl champions, the Philadelphia Eagles have a strong case for being not only the best front office in the NFC East, but one of the best in the entire league. General manager Howie Roseman is not afraid to spend big and make splash trades. During his tenure as general manager for the Eagles, they have played in three Super Bowls and come out victorious twice. Advertisement 2. Dallas Cowboys Yes, the Cowboys are in the midst of a 29-year championship drought, but the fact that they have been able to consistently field more competitive rosters than the Giants or Commanders in recent years, gives them the edge. 3. Washington Commanders The Washington Commanders cleaned house in 2023 when they were bought by a new ownership group led by Magic Johnson and Josh Harris. After reaching the NFC Championship game last season, the Commanders are certainly heading in the right direction. 4. New York Giants The New York Giants chose to keep Daniel Jones who is no longer on the roster instead of Saquon Barkley. Enough said.
