A Korean news agency says that Tom Kim just received a warning after he took out his frustrations over losing a tournament recently on a locker.

After losing the lead and the tournament, which was a joint event between the DP World Tour and KPGA in South Korea, Kim reportedly smashed the door of his locker in the clubhouse.

For his part, Kim did reportedly apologize and offered to pay for repairs to the locker room.

Now, Korea KoongAng Daily reported that Kim received a warning by the KPGA at a disciplinary meeting on Wednesday for “failing to maintain dignity” in the moments following the end of the tournament. It’s believed to now be a closed matter.

Kim was also in the news this summer for damaging a green in the closing holes of the FedEx St. Jude Championship, where he failed to make the top 50 in the standings thanks to a late collapse. He then criticized fans at the Presidents Cup in Canada for not being more vocal in their support for the International Team.
