It’s a Tom thing.
If you remember, Tom Brady ripped his pants during The Match II in 2020 after sinking an approach shot from the middle of the fairway. An all-time moment from the GOAT.
Well, another Tom has joined him in the ripped-pants ranks. Tom Kim, the 20-year-old Presidents Cup rookie, tore his pants before the start of his Friday four-ball match. He’s paired with Hideki Matsuyama and the talented combo is set to face off against Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte, North Carolina.
Luckily for Kim, they were able to find an extra pair of pants and he’s good to go for the afternoon.
The best part is this isn’t the first time he’s done it this week. He ripped his pants during tournament preparation, too.
Rumor on the range is that Tom Kim has ripped his pants. Even more surprising, this is the second time this week he’s done so😂

Despite being on his third pair of pants for the week, Kim showed no sign of nerves on the first tee.

The Internationals have a big hill to climb, as they fell behind 4-1 Thursday.
