Inside Si Woo Kim Family Life
Si Woo Kim grew up in a family with father Kim Doo-young. Kim is a Yonsei University alum born on June 28, 1995.
He is a highly decorated individual who has carved his name in the golfing world, mainly on PGA Tour. However, even with such a stellar career and achievements, he has managed to stay grounded thanks to his parents' tough love and brutal honesty.
His dad, Kim Du-ryu has been crucial in keeping him humble and ensuring that he continues to work hard to grow his legacy on the PGA Tour.
One of Kim's biggest accomplishments came when he was just 17 years old, as he became the youngest player ever to earn a PGA Tour card through the Qualifying School. His success in this arena marked him as a true potential.
Similarly, Kim posed with Doo-young in Florida after he won the Players Championship in May 2017.
Despite his remarkable feats, Si-woo's father has never let him become complacent or rest on his glory. The older Kim's advice to him has always been to remember that he is not the top player and never to act like he is.
This constant reminder has helped Si-woo maintain a modest and humble attitude toward his success, which has been crucial in helping him rest his feet on the ground and focus on his goals.
Moreover, the 27-year-old athlete is grateful for his father's frank opinions, which have helped him grow as a golfer and as a person. Kim Doo will cheer him from home as he marches on the 2023 Masters led by Jon Rahm and Viktor Hovland in the first round.
