Michael Kim Gives Candid Glimpse Into Life Behind the Masters Locker Room Doors
So, let me tell you about this cool behind-the-scenes moment from Augusta—Michael Kim, the PGA Tour pro, is giving us a surprisingly honest and personal look into what it's really like to be a player at the Masters. It's not every day we get to hear what happens inside the locker rooms at Augusta National, right?
Michael Kim is back at the Masters for just the second time, after barely making it into the top 50 in the world rankings. And instead of just staying quiet and focused, he’s been sharing his experiences online like a true storyteller. First off, there’s this hilarious detail—every player has to share a locker with another pro. In Kim’s case, his locker buddy is J.J. Spaun. Now, Kim opens the locker and finds it absolutely stuffed with Spaun’s pro shop purchases. Apparently, Spaun went all in with his Players Championship winnings and treated himself—like, big time. Kim joked that Spaun might have spent most of his paycheck before the tournament even started.

Aside from the locker room laughs, Kim’s been super open about his prep on the course. Despite the rain shutting down Monday’s practice for fans, players could still get out there, and Kim took full advantage. He practiced, got in some work with his coach, and even reflected on his swing. According to him, his clubface was a bit too closed lately, which he’s been tweaking—getting back to his usual neutral to slightly open setup.
And it’s not just about the full swings—he dove into how different the Augusta bunkers feel compared to other courses. He described them as "heavy" and "sticky," which affects how the ball comes out. Even the greens in the practice area mimic the course so well that he was impressed by how much solid short game work he could get in. He also noted how conditions now might be very different once the tournament starts.
What’s even more heartwarming is how Kim is balancing all the golf prep with trying to organize things for his family and friends who are coming to support him. This whole Masters trip isn’t just about playing—it’s about sharing a special moment with the people closest to him. He’s scrambling to sort out tickets, places to stay, and keep himself healthy after a long stretch of play.
Overall, this peek into Kim’s Masters week is pretty refreshing. He’s not just going through the motions—he’s letting us see the chaos, the laughs, the pressure, and the little moments that make playing at Augusta so unforgettable. Whether or not he makes the cut this time, Kim’s already won over fans by just being real.
