Tom Kim is making apologies for the second time in less than a month.
Kim, 22, apologised Monday for damaging his clubhouse locker after his playoff loss to Byeong Hun An in the DP World Tour's Genesis Championship on Sunday in South Korea.
Last month at the Presidents Cup in Montreal, Kim apologised to US captain Jim Furyk and Xander Schauffele after Kim told reporters that unidentified members of the US team were "cursing at us" during their foursomes match in which he joined partner Si Woo Kim against Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay.
Saying he wanted the information about the incident to come directly from him, Kim shared on Instagram that he had already addressed the issue with the KPGA and the DP World Tour, apologizing to both and offering to pay for the damages. Kim said after these actions, "the matter was considered closed."
Kim lost in a playoff Sunday where on the par-5 18th he hit his third shot into a grandstand and made bogey. An followed that up by making another birdie for the win.
"After the loss I was frustrated, yes, absolutely," Kim said in his statement on Instagram. "[B]ut I can assure you with absolute truth that I had no intent of damaging any part of the locker, not a single bit."
He concluded his statement acknowledging those who've reached out to support him, finishing, "To them and anyone else that I may have let down, I apologise with all my heart."
