“Ludvig [Aberg] is a stud”: Michael Kim shares 7 big thoughts from Genesis Invitational at Torrey Pines

Michael Kim is one of the most active golfers on social media, especially X (formerly called Twitter). He shares regular updates about his life on tour as a pro golfer and post-round thoughts with all the fans.

He recently shared seven big thoughts from last week's 2025 Genesis Invitational and also called the winner of the event, Ludvig Aberg, a "stud."

"Thoughts from Genesis (Torrey pt 2)"

"Whenever I play here, there’s a wave of gratitude and a feeling of accomplishment. I grew up 10 minutes away, Torrey was my home course, and watched Tiger win many many times at Torrey Pines. This is where I grew my dreams as a pro golfer.

"Happy to finish T-13 at a signature event. These tournaments actually do have most of the top 10 golfers in the world (lol) and I’m happy with the way I plotted my way around the course, especially that first day. There were parts of my game that were up and down each day but that’s golf. Also glad that I didn’t let the T2 finish from last week get me complacent. The cut was prob a big help with that."

"Golf is funny game. I shot +10 to miss the cut by a mile three weeks ago but played well this week at the same course. What changed? Some confidence for sure, some short game, but I never felt like I was super off my game, even when I shot +10.

"Ludvig is a stud (duh) but so is Maverick."

"It’s a weird feeling during Tue and wed when the field is so small. The range and course isn’t at all crowded but everywhere you look is a top 50 player in the world. You def get a sense that this is a really big tournament.

"Had a terrible warm up on Sunday morning but ended up finding a score which I’m super proud of and something I couldn’t have done in the past. I had some adjustments off the tee that worked well and short game and putting stepped up when I needed it.

"Off to a great start but I have to keep going because I really want to keep playing in these signature events.

"Onto VidantaWorld!"
