Teenager Kris Kim set to make PGA Tour debut at 16 at CJ Cup Byron Nelson

Youngster Kris Kim is set to make waves in the golfing world as he gears up to make his PGA Tour debut at just 16 years old. The amateur starlet from Surrey will be taking on the best in the business at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson at TPC Craig Ranch next week, before even sitting his GCSE exams a month later.

Kim has already shown his potential for stardom, impressing spectators at the Junior Ryder Cup in Rome in 2023 where he went unbeaten, helping Team Europe to victory over the US. His talent has also been on display in various championships, showcasing his skills and determination on the course.

Receiving an exemption from CJ Group for his PGA Tour debut, Kim is excited to compete against the likes of Jason Day, Will Zalatoris, and Jordan Spieth. Despite his young age, Kim is focused on making the cut and taking each shot as it comes, showing maturity beyond his years.

Kim will have the support of his family, with his mom acting as his coach and guiding him through the challenges of competing at such a high level at such a young age. With his eyes set on a successful debut, Kim is ready to take on the challenge and make a name for himself in the golfing world.

Kim is not the only young talent making headlines, with 15-year-old Miles Russell also making waves on the Korn Ferry Tour. With both youngsters poised for success, the future of golf looks bright with these rising stars on the horizon.
