    Si Woo Kim had the Sky Sports TV studio laughing with his audacious move at the Presidents Cup. With Team USA and the International Team locked at 5-5 on day three, the morning four-balls were crucial for gaining the upper hand before the afternoon's action.

    Team USA initially took the lead with two match wins, but Si Woo Kim alongside Tom Kim managed to pull off a 4-3 victory against Keegan Bradley and Wyndham Clark. The spotlight was on Si Woo Kim on the final hole, where he had the shot to earn the International Team's first point of the day.

    With the other players only able to make par, Si Woo Kim had the stage set for a birdie. He delivered flawlessly with a 17-foot putt that sailed straight into the cup.

    In a moment that echoed Tiger Woods' iconic style, Si Woo Kim confidently removed his cap and strode after his ball as it dropped into the hole. The commentators on Sky Sports couldn't contain their amusement, erupting into laughter before sharing their reactions.

    Caught off guard by the bold gesture, Brad Faxon exclaimed: "Oh, he takes the hat off! " Dan Hicks then added his take, jokingly comparing the speed of Si Woo Kim's move to Tiger's famous hat removal against Abraham Ancer, saying: "I think that's quicker than when Tiger took the hat off against Abraham Ancer. They're brash!".

    This year's Presidents Cup has been filled with excitement and tension between the two teams. A notable incident occurred between Scottie Scheffler and Tom Kim on Thursday , resulting in accusations of disrespect towards Kim.

    The drama began when Kim sunk a birdie putt on the seventh green and enthusiastically celebrated with a loud "Let's go!" Scheffler, seemingly provoked, responded with a matching birdie putt and questioned Kim's outburst, asking, "What was that?".

    The tension continued on the eighth hole, where Kim again celebrated a long birdie putt, this time heading to the ninth tee before Scheffler had finished his putt. Paul McGinley, the 2014 Ryder Cup-winning captain of Team Europe, criticized Kim's behavior, stating, "That's bordering on bad behaviour there. That's disrespectful in my opinion."

    He acknowledged the competitiveness of the event but noted an underlying edge between the teams.
