1184: Linksmaster Tom Kim and Haeran Ryu goes back-to-back

Tom Kim is the Scottish Open champ after a marathon Sunday at the Renaissance Club with a final round 64, which gave him a two-shot win over Min Woo Lee. We assess Kim’s bounce-back after a rough 2025, poke at TC with a Tom Kim v Ludvig comp before going down the leaderboard, including Scottie’s missed cut and the Trackers getting in their feelings.

From there, we head to France to recap the Evian, where Haeran Ryu defeats Brooke Henderson in a playoff to win her second consecutive major. We close with some takes on Scott O’Neil’s latest interview as he looks to secure future funding for LIV, and some assorted news and notes headed into Open Championship week.
