Sound Crazy Right? Golf doesn’t work out for Tom Kim, it sounds like he’s got a good job babysitting for Jordan Spieth’s kid
Move over, Tiger Woods and Justin Thomas. Heck, get out of the way, Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth. The newest budding bromance on the PGA Tour is Spieth and Tom Kim. Although, this might be a bit of a business relationship as well.
As we learned from former #SB2K buddy and new NBC Golf hire Smylie Kaufman during Thursday’s telecast of the Sentry Tournament of Champions, young Spieth has bonded with the even younger Kim, who has also settled in the Dallas area. That includes the three-time major champ inviting the 20-year-old over for Christmas dinner. Aww.
And after an opening 65 at Kapalua while playing with Spieth (67), Kim provided more details.
“Yeah, I mean, I just, the more time I spent with Jordan just we kind of came closer friends,” Kim said. “I think we shared a plane back from Hero back to Dallas, so I took the Jordan air. But yeah, no, he was really nice enough to invite me for Christmas. My family wasn’t home and I was kind of by myself. So I got to spend some time with the Spieths and kind of babysit Sammy, which was really cool. But, yeah, it’s been amazing to kind of build a friendship and it was really cool to play with him today.”
