The PGA Tour and LPGA Tour continued their respective seasons this week with the Rocket Classic and the Dow Championship respectively.
LIV Golf meanwhile continued its campaign in Dallas, with all three tournaments having been won via a playoff.
Aldrich Potgieter won the Rocket Classic on the PGA Tour as Patrick Reed won LIV Golf Dallas, with Jin Hee Im and Somi Lee winning the Dow Championship team event on the LPGA Tour.
One player involved in the busy week was Michael Kim, who finished T26 at Detroit Golf Club on 15-under.
The PGA Tour ace also found time to keep up his entertaining social media presence, having taken on a Q&A on X amid an airport delay.
Michael Kim suggests who would win between a scratch male golfer and LPGA professional
And he was tasked by one fan about comparing male and female golfers, having been asked the question: “What is your take on the male scratch golfer vs LPGA professional?”
One-time PGA Tour champion Kim responded: “If it’s an actual scratch as in 0 handicap, he prob has 2% chance.”

In a similar vein earlier this season, Kim analysed how a scratch golfer would manage on the PGA Tour after his fellow professional Billy Horschel demonstrated just how talented the top players really are.
Michael Kim says who single-digit handicap players can get to scratch
Kim has been keeping fans entertained off the course for some time now, with his efforts including mid-tournament updates and key advice for avid golfers.
He continued in that regard with the latter in his latest update, having been asked by another fan: “What’s one piece of advice you’d give a single-digit handicap to get to scratch?”
Kim replied: “Single digit is really good but there’s still a lot of room left for improvement and scratch isn’t the end. Just keep trying to improve and take and use stats if possible.”
But he’s also been impressing on the course this season, with the 31-year-old boasting one runner-up finish and three top 10s.

The American has made 17 of 20 cuts, finishing T27 at The Masters, T55 at the PGA Championship and T50 at the US Open.
Kim’s only PGA Tour success arrived at the 2018 John Deere Classic, but another title in the near future certainly can’t be ruled out.
Incidentally the John Deere Classic is now next up on the PGA Tour schedule, with TPC Deere Run playing host to the tournament.
The Evian Championship at Evian Resort Golf Club arrives next in the LPGA Tour calendar, with Real Club Valderrama hosting LIV Golf Andalucia.
