Tom Kim and the International Team lost the 2024 Presidents Cup to Team USA at the Royal Montreal Golf Club in Quebec, Canada. This victory marked Team USA's 10th consecutive Presidents Cup win, dating back to 2005.

However, International Team golfer Tom Kim warned Team USA after the win. In a post-tournament press conference at the Royal Montreal Golf Club, the South Korean golfer warned the American side that winning does not last forever.

Kim said:

"I just think we're hungry. I'm sure the American team feels the same way. But when you lose so many times, I feel like there's always a story where people come back. Winning doesn't last forever. There's eventually times when you're going to lose."

He added:

"There's going to be times where lip-outs are going to go our way. A few breaks, a few bounces are going to go our way, and that's going to make a difference. We play great and we keep falling short sometimes, but I'm not losing hope. I'm going to support really, really hard. I don't have a voice anymore and I'm going to lose it more today, but I really believe that our fans can bring us on and hopefully soon we'll have a chance to win the Cup."

On Day 4 of the tournament, Kim put up a good performance against Sam Burns in the singles. While Kim had a slow start to the round, he managed to come from behind and halve with the American player.

However, Kim made headlines at the Presidents Cup in Round 1. When the tournament began on Thursday, Tom Kim was spotted in some heated exchanges with World No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler.

Controversy further erupted when Kim and his partner Sungjae Im walked away from Hole No. 8 towards Hole No. 9 before Scheffler could finish putting.
