“It rained a lot leading up” – PGA Tour winner shares strong ‘thoughts’ on Philly Cricket club ahead of Truist Championship 

Michael Kim has shared his thoughts on the Philly Cricket Club ahead of the 2025 Truist Championship. Some of the world's top-ranked golfers, including him, will compete in the four-day event starting May 8.

The PGA Tour winner tweeted his opinion about the venue:

"Thoughts on Philly Cricket club: -There’s a lot of bunkers at 300-310 that if you can carry, the hole becomes much wider and easier. Most of the field can’t cover them but certain bombers like Rory will def be able to and it’ll be a big difference. -It’s too early in the year and the rough isn’t quite as long as it should be. Which honestly might be a good thing for me. If the rough was too high, those bombers would have an even bigger advantage I think. -Greens have that cool tillinghast design with a decent amount of variety, front to back, back to front, side to side and everything in between. The best part of the golf course.

I’m going to guess that it used to have a lot of trees and was a tree lined course? There’s not many trees anymore which is probably good for growing grass and maintenance costs but I think it would have been an even better course with more trees. -It rained a lot leading up but has dried up really nice so far. Unfortunately, there’s more rain forecasted so prob will play really soft the entire week. Scores will likely be pretty low unless it’s really windy and cold the first two days. -Overall, a really cool northeast classic course."

The American golfer has competed in 13 2025 PGA Tour events and missed the cut in three. However, he also recorded some decent finishes and was the runner-up at the WM Phoenix Open. He last competed at the RBC Heritage, where he shot 71, 71, 70, and 69 to settle T54. He is a favorite to win the Truist Championship. As per CBS Sports, he has odds of +6000.
