On the 12th (local time), at the official press conference for the PGA Tour’s "The Players Championship" (total prize money $25 million) held at TPC Sawgrass (par 72, 7,275 yards) in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida, USA, he explained, "The wind blows every year. The wind swirls." He added, "On TV, you often see many players making mistakes on holes 16 to 18. That shows how difficult those holes are when the wind blows."

Kim Si-woo won this tournament in 2017. He said, "It feels like it’s already been seven years. Time has flown by so fast." He continued, "Back then, I played without knowing much, but now looking back, I feel the desire to win again." He has participated in seven tournaments this year but has yet to finish in the ‘top 10.’

Kim Si-woo emphasized, "Making the cut is the primary goal in every tournament. So far, I haven’t missed the cut in any of the seven tournaments. That’s proof that I’m playing consistently." He added, "Patience is important. If you get too obsessed with results or winning, you become anxious, and that anxiety affects your play. I have waited well so far, so if I keep waiting, a good opportunity will come."

Kim Si-woo recently became a father. Last month, his wife Oh Ji-hyun gave birth to a son. When asked about his feelings as a new dad, he smiled and said, "It’s an emotion I’ve never felt before. It’s very amazing and precious." He added, "Giving the baby a bath is very difficult, but I’ve changed many diapers, so that part isn’t hard. The difficult part was not knowing why the baby was crying or how to soothe him, but the nurses taught me well, so I got help," smiling warmly.
