Si Woo Kim made a hole-in-one at the 2025 PGA Championship and broke two records with his brilliant shot. In the second round of the major held on Friday, May 16, the South Korean golfer made an ace on the par-3 sixth from 252 yards.
Woo Kim recorded the longest ace in the history of the golf majors. Intriguingly, it was the second straight year making an ace in the major.
Last year, Woo Kim made a hole-in-one in Round 3 17th Hole of the Open Championship. He became the first golfer since Scott Hoch in 2002 to make two back-to-back holes in majors. Back then, Hoch made the ace at the PGA Championship in 2001, and the next season he made an ace at the U.S. Open.

I've been fighting all front nine with the mud balls, and I didn't get the first two holes. I didn't get the first two holes back nine any mud balls, so kind of get through birdie and then birdie. I had like longest par-3 hole-in-one."
