Overview
- Kim was officially relegated from LIV Golf at the end of the 2025 season after a year without a top-10 finish.
- He began his bid in the Jakarta International Championship, opening with a one-under 69 that left him six shots off the early lead.
- By Friday he was T63 with two rounds remaining, three strokes outside a top-20 position and on the right side of the projected cut.
- Five elevated International Series events remain for him to climb the points list, which is currently led by players such as Lucas Herbert and Scott Vincent.
- Kim called his form “very streaky” after a 12-year absence and said he will take it week by week, with additional chances coming at the PIF Saudi International and the LIV Promotions Event.
