WATCH: Sungjae Im, Tom Kim take cameras into their own hands, end up with hilarious results at the Presidents Cup
Tom Kim and Sungjae Im are having a great time in the days leading up to the 2024 Presidents Cup. In the midst of preparing for the event, the two Koreans have found time to have fun in a variety of ways.
One example was when they became impromptu cameramen during one of the practice sessions. Im and Kim took the cameras that were following them and began to operate them with hilarious results.
In the video posted by the PGA Tour on its X (formerly Twitter) account, Kim is seen using his camera to take a selfie with Im, fellow Korean Si Wo Kim and South African Christiaan Bezuidenhout.
Im is later seen 'operating' his camera as he walks around the course with Kim. They are seen laughing and joking throughout.
Sungjae Im qualified for the 2024 Presidents Cup International Team as the second-highest ranked player behind Japan's Hideki Matsuyama. Tom Kim also qualified directly for the team as the fourth-highest ranked player.
The top six players in the internal rankings qualified for the international team. This group included a third Korean, Byeong Hun An. The other six were chosen by captain Mike Weir.
A fourth Korean, Si Woo Kim, made the team via a free pick. Korea are the most represented country in the international squad with four players.
