Despite the intense competition week in and week out, professional golf — above all else — is a community. And when a likable character overcomes, perseveres and wins, that community comes out in droves.
Today, the professional golf community came out to celebrate and congratulate Christina Kim, who won for the first time in nine years by taking the Lorena Ochoa Invitational.
One of the LPGA Tour’s most notable faces, Kim has battled depression throughout her career. Throughout that battle, she’s had the support of her friends and colleagues on tour and that was never more clear than Sunday following her victory.
Here’s a look at those sharing kind words and congratulations with Kim following her big victory:
I love you sooo much @TheChristinaKim. No one deserves this win more than you…NO ONE #stillcrying #youarethebest pic.twitter.com/4GgnsCy2GS
