Tom Kim said he enjoyed his time at the 2024 Travelers Championship with Scottie Scheffler

Kim said playing with Scheffler helped him concentrate more. He said (via PGA Tour):

"You don't need to worry about him, because he's going to play well. Obviously he's a phenomenal player, World No. 1, all those titles. But at the same time for me he's just Scottie Scheffler, he's just a good friend."

He further said that he enjoyed Scheffler's company.

"To come down with someone that I play a lot of golf with, who beats me a lot at home — and, unfortunately, he beat me in the playoff too. But it definitely made it a lot more enjoyable out there."
