Tom Kim is quickly becoming one of the most likable personalities on the PGA Tour—not just for his impressive play, but for his growing friendship with fellow golfer Jordan Spieth. During a lighthearted moment at a recent tournament, Kim shared that he’s been spending time with Spieth and his family off the course, including babysitting duties for Spieth’s young son, Sammy.
The playful comment came during a press interview, where Kim joked that if golf ever stops working out, he might have a backup career watching over Spieth’s kid. “I think I’m pretty good at babysitting,” Kim laughed. “Sammy seems to like me. At least, I haven’t made him cry yet.”
The exchange is just the latest in the ongoing bromance between Kim and the Spieth family. Spieth, a three-time major winner, has spoken highly of Kim’s maturity and talent, despite his young age. Their growing friendship highlights the tight-knit nature of the PGA Tour and offers fans a refreshing glimpse into the lives of players beyond the fairways.
With his charming personality and quick wit, Kim continues to win fans both on and off the course. While no one’s hoping he trades in his clubs for a diaper bag anytime soon, it’s safe to say Tom Kim would be welcome in the Spieth household—whether as a dinner guest or a last-minute babysitter.
