Sponsor Invite Wins His Third Genesis With 16th Hole Ace
/
An ace in your first PGA Tour event is pretty wild, but earning a Genesis G80 to go with the other two Genesis’ you’ve won is just a little crazy.
The shot is below but Ben Everill at PGATour.com explains how sponsor invite Tae Hoon Kim keeps picking up all of these luxury cars.
Kim made an ace on the par-3 16th hole at Riviera from 168 yards with a 7-iron which earned him a 2021 Genesis G80 during a rollercoaster 2-under 69 that left him in a tie for 19th place.
The 35-year-old Korean is in the field courtesy of winning the 2020 Genesis Championship on the Korean Tour last October – a result that also yielded a Genesis GV80 to go with the invitation to make his PGA TOUR debut.
The four-time Korean Tour winner also picked up a Genesis GV70 for leading the order of merit on the Korean Tour in 2020, making it three vehicles added to his garage in just over four months.
“I gave the first two cars to my parents but I’m not sure yet what I’ll do with this latest one,” Kim said through a translator after the round.
