Tom Kim likely to leave Presidents Cup early for Asian Games
Summary

Tom Kim is expected to depart Medinah Country Club before the conclusion of the 2026 Presidents Cup on Sunday. He has been a key player for the International Team, contributing to their three-point lead over the U.S. with 12 singles matches remaining. His departure is influenced by his participation in the Asian Games, starting Wednesday, where success could exempt him from mandatory military service in South Korea. If the International Team secures victory in the Presidents Cup, Kim's early exit would prevent him from joining in celebration.
