Men’s Golf | November 09, 2022
Carson Kim, a 2022 Rolex All-American from Yorba Linda, Calif., ranked among the nation’s top junior golfers, has signed a national letter of intent with the USC men’s golf program, Trojan Head Coach J.T. Higgins announced Wednesday (Nov. 9).
Kim, a senior at Sunny Hills High in Fullerton, Calif., earned Rolex All-American first-team honors last week to cap a 2022 that saw five top 5 AJGA results. He is ranked seventh in the current AJGA rankings and fourth on Junior Golf Scoreboard.
“In Carson Kim, USC is not only gaining one of the top junior golfers in the U.S. but a world-class student and a wonderful human being,” Higgins said. “Carson’s talent on the course is only matched by his extraordinary work ethic, love of the game and commitment to excellence in everything that he sets his mind to accomplishing. He is truly an amazing young man who is well liked and respected among his competitors, gives back to his community and is a marvelous student both on the course and in the classroom. Carson is going to make an immediate impact to our golf program but is also an incredible addition to the USC community.”
Kim, a Rolex Scholastic All-American, recently represented the U.S. in the 2022 Junior President’s Cup and won all three of his matches, including a 5&3 singles win, the second largest victory of the competition for the U.S. side.
He earned the spot thanks to a fourth at The Junior PLAYERS Championship. Kim also played for the West team in the 2022 Wyndham Cup.
His 2022 AJGA results were highlighted by a third at the Sergio and Angela Garcia Foundation Junior Championship while he posted a trio of fourth-place finishes and one tie for fifth.
Kim, who captured All-Freeway League first-team notice and Co-MVP team honors, earned the AJGA Billy Dettlaff Sportsmanship Award and was active in the AJGA Leadership Links as the top fundraiser for the Veteran’s Golf Association.
He is a star in the classroom with a 4.67 GPA with an academic resume that features Rotary Top 100, AP Scholar With Distinction
honors, the Servite President’s Scholarship Award and inclusion in the California Scholarship Federation.
