Template:Korean name Kim Si-woo (born 28 June 1995), also known as Si Woo Kim, is a South Korean professional golfer.
Kim finished tied for 20th at the 2012 PGA Tour Qualifying School. He was only 17 years, 5 months, 6 days old at the time, the youngest player to graduate from the PGA Tour's qualifying school.[2] Due to PGA Tour rules, he could not become a PGA Tour member until he turned 18, midway through the 2013 season. In eight PGA Tour starts in 2013, Kim missed the cut in seven tournaments and withdrew from the eighth.[3] He also played in seven Web.com Tour events in 2013, making four cuts.
Kim played on the Web.com Tour in 2014, making 15 of 19 cuts including a third-place finish at the Cleveland Open. In 2015, he won his first Web.com Tour event, the Stonebrae Classic, in July.[4] He was the second-youngest winner in Web.com Tour history, after Jason Day. He finished 2015 in tenth place in the Web.com Tour money list,[5] to earn a place on the PGA Tour for 2016.
His first win on the PGA Tour came at the 2016 Wyndham Championship.[6] At 21, he was the season's youngest winner.
