"STROKE THIS GUY" – Golf podcast host blasts Tom Kim over slow play at AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am 2025

Golf podcast host Tron Carter called out PGA Tour pro, Tom Kim, for slow play at the 2025 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am event. The South Korean golfer competed at the recently concluded PGA Tour signature event and finished in a tie for seventh place.

However, following the play, an X user, Tim Preston, took to his account to share a video of the golfer while complaining about his slow play in the game. He wrote:

"42 seconds to approach it. 23 seconds at address. 1:05 from Tom Kim to pump it OB. Golf has a serious problem."

Carter reshared the video on his X account along with the caption saying:

"STROKE THIS GUY. He’s the poster child for this shit. Slow play is just the tip of the iceberg. He acts like a third grader on and off the course."

Notably, the PGA Tour has been trying to tackle the problem of slow play by making required changes in their policies. Recently, they have also been testing the allowance of using distance measuring devices to solve the slow play issues in the game.
