Tk Kim Played Award-Winning PROTOCONCEPT GOLF Equipment to Clinch the 2024 Idaho Open Championship

-Kim, a native of Idaho and Boise State graduate, captured the 2024 Idaho Open title four strokes ahead of the runner up-

ORANGE COUNTY, CA. – SEPTEMBER 25, 2024 – PROTOCONCEPT GOLF, a luxury Japanese golf club designer and manufacturer, congratulates TK Kim for seizing his home state title - the 2024 Idaho Open Championship. He shot rounds of 63, 63, and 70 for a 196, 14-under par total on the Quail Hollow Golf Course.


Kim played his custom handcrafted C01.5TH forged hybrid iron #4 for precision and accuracy. A Tour-spec hybrid iron, available for every golfer, which provides a higher launch with more ball speed and is easy to hit. It features a hollow body with a dynamic face that generates immense ball speed to carry the ball farther and the center of gravity is strategically positioned to promote playability with a controlled ball flight and is super easy to launch.

"TK loves his forged hybrid #4 iron as he can swing aggressively, control the ball flight, and get the extra carry and distance," said Marcy Kamoda, CEO of PROTOCONCEPT GOLF. “He also relied on our PROTOCONCEPT GOLF wedges. His sentiment is similar as he can be aggressive at the pin but with control and precision.

Also, in TK’s bag at the 2024 Idaho Open Championship are PROTOCONCEPT GOLF wedges. He played wedges with lofts of 50, 56, and 58. His wedges offer him high performance, precision, and versatility. They feature a signature feel thanks to an ultra-soft forged face and the unique dotted pattern milling provides him increased spin and control.
