DURHAM, N.C. – Duke's Bryan Kim has been selected to the 2026 Golfweek Men's College Golf Preseason All-America Team as a second-team honoree.
Kim enters his fourth season as a Blue Devil following a 2025-26 campaign in which he earned Golfweek third-team All-America honors and recorded a 70.41 stroke average, the second-best single-season mark in Duke history. The Brookeville, Maryland, native established program single-season records with 28 par-or-better rounds, 24 under-par rounds and 18 rounds in the 60s.
Kim collected two individual victories during the season, tying for third on Duke's single-season wins list. He earned his first collegiate medalist honor at the Bryan Bros Collegiate, matching the program's 54-hole scoring record with a 16-under-par 197 (66-66-65).
He added his second victory at the Golf Club of Georgia Collegiate, finishing at 11-under-par 205 (67-69-69) while helping Duke secure a runner-up team finish. Kim also placed second at the Tar Heel Intercollegiate.
Kim continued his strong play into the postseason at the NCAA Marana Regional, where a final-round 7-under-par 65 helped him establish Duke's NCAA Regional 54-hole scoring record at 11-under-par 205 (72-68-65). He tied for sixth individually as the Blue Devils advanced to the NCAA Championship.
Ranked as high as No. 2 nationally during the fall portion of the 2025-26 schedule, Kim concluded the year at No. 24 in the Scoreboard individual rankings.
Through three seasons at Duke, Kim ranks second in program history with a 71.47 career stroke average. He also stands among Duke's top 10 in career rounds in the 60s (31), under-par rounds (50) and par-or-better rounds (64).
In the first season under head coach Bob Heintz, Kim helped the Blue Devils record five top-two team finishes and advance through NCAA Regional competition to the NCAA Championship, where Duke placed 13th for its best national finish since 2018.
Kim is one of 30 players recognized on Golfweek's three preseason All-America teams and one of five ACC golfers selected to the first or second team.
