The PGA Tour and LPGA Tour continued their respective seasons this week with the Rocket Classic and the Dow Championship respectively.<\/strong><\/p>\n

LIV Golf meanwhile continued its campaign in Dallas, with all three tournaments having been won via a playoff.<\/p>\n

Aldrich Potgieter won the Rocket Classic on the PGA Tour<\/a> as Patrick Reed won LIV Golf Dallas<\/a>, with Jin Hee Im and Somi Lee winning the Dow Championship team event on the LPGA Tour<\/a>.<\/p>\n

One player involved in the busy week was Michael Kim<\/a>, who finished T26 at Detroit Golf Club on 15-under.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Michael Kim suggests who would win between a scratch male golfer and LPGA professional<\/p>\n

And he was tasked by one fan about comparing male and female golfers, having been asked the question: \u201cWhat is your take on the male scratch golfer vs LPGA professional?\u201d<\/p>\n

One-time PGA Tour champion Kim responded: \u201cIf it\u2019s an actual scratch as in 0 handicap, he prob has 2% chance.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a similar vein earlier this season, Kim analysed how a scratch golfer would manage on the PGA Tour<\/a> after his fellow professional Billy Horschel demonstrated just how talented the top players really are.<\/p>\n

Michael Kim says who single-digit handicap players can get to scratch<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

He continued in that regard with the latter in his latest update, having been asked by another fan: \u201cWhat\u2019s one piece of advice you\u2019d give a single-digit handicap to get to scratch?\u201d<\/p>\n

Kim replied: \u201cSingle digit is really good but there\u2019s still a lot of room left for improvement and scratch isn\u2019t the end. Just keep trying to improve and take and use stats if possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

But he\u2019s also been impressing on the course this season, with the 31-year-old boasting one runner-up finish and three top 10s.<\/p>\n

The American has made 17 of 20 cuts, finishing T27 at The Masters, T55 at the PGA Championship and T50 at the US Open.<\/p>\n

Kim\u2019s only PGA Tour success arrived at the 2018 John Deere Classic, but another title in the near future certainly can\u2019t be ruled out.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Incidentally the John Deere Classic is now next up on the PGA Tour schedule, with TPC Deere Run playing host to the tournament.<\/p>\n

The Evian Championship at Evian Resort Golf Club arrives next in the LPGA Tour calendar, with Real Club Valderrama hosting LIV Golf Andalucia.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
