KAPALUA, Hawaii (AP) — Tom Kim starts the new year with a new look. The 20-year-old from South Korea has signed an endorsement deal to be part of the Nike staff. Kim is a two-time winner on the PGA Tour who has quickly made a name for himself. He was sponsored by South Korea conglomerate CJ last year. Kim believes the swoosh gives him a more global look. He was raised primarily in Australia and speaks Korean and English with equal ease. In women’s golf, the Ladies European Tour is going to Trump International in Florida next year for an Aramco Series event.
