In a media interview, Kim reflected on his previous performances in this competition. Interestingly, at just 22 years old, this will not be his debut but his second appearance. The South Korean golfer expressed his desire to play alongside Scottie Scheffler, whom he knows well and who is a major name in the golf world. Kim spoke candidly about his relationship with Scheffler, admitting that he disliked him at one point. The 22-year-old recalled their encounters, feeling frustrated that he couldnt win but ready to show a stronger performance this time.
Kim explained that he strives to be the best version of himself and wants to bring a lot of energy to his team. He also makes sure to focus on his responsibilities and aims to score as many points as possible.
The young golfer, despite being just 22 years old, wants to show that he is ready to take on responsibility and embrace risks as he aims to help his team achieve victory this time. Their last outing wasnt positive, as the US team managed to win. The 22-year-old is emerging as a leader and someone who could truly reach the top of the golf world in just a few years.
Kim shared that the atmosphere is really positive. He mentioned that many team members are returning from the 2022 team, along with a few new players. The sense of camaraderie feels stronger this time around. He stresses they are better as a team than they were two years ago and is excited about the week ahead, especially since they are playing on home turf.

Canada will be the host this time, and the support from Canadian fans could greatly benefit the International team. Of course, the US team is the favorite in this matchup, but no one can underestimate the strength and determination of the International team. There are many interesting players who truly have the potential to achieve a good result.
Mike Weir and Trevor Immelman
Mike Weir will be the captain of the International team. The 54-year-old Canadian has prepared the team well and made it clear what they need to do in the matchup against the US team. Kim also highlighted Trevor Immelman, one of Weir's assistants, stressing how he has carefully observed Immelman's actions and been impressed by his passion and dedication. Kim didnt forget to mention the captain, expressing his willingness to give everything he has to bring the trophy home.

Kim stressed that in the last few Presidents Cups, the team has grown much stronger. He recalled how, in Charlotte, many rookies struggled to manage being away from home, making it feel overwhelming. This time, however, there are more experienced players on the team. He believes their improved strength and experience give them a good chance to bring the Cup home.
It will be interesting to follow the situation and see what this year's competition brings. As mentioned, the US team is the favorite, but we cannot underestimate players like Hideki Matsuyama, Im Sung-jae, Adam Scott, Jason Day, and others. In any case, it promises to be a true spectacle.
