2. Anthony Kim, 22, U.S.
The Stats: Kim left Oklahoma to turn pro in 2006 and then tied for second in his Tour debut at the Texas Open. He grinded through three stages of Q-school to get his card. The Tour's youngest rookie this year, he's 51st on the money list and third in earnings among first-year players ($1.55 million) behind Brandt Snedeker and John Mallinger. He's ranked 66th in the world, the highest of any player under 25. As a child he slept with a golf club, and his parents put him in front of a TV when golf was on to stop his cries.
The Skinny: Kim's cocksure attitude (he once criticized a Tour event for not giving him a sponsor's exemption) hasn't made him Mr. Popularity, but it has helped him become a threat to win whenever he tees it up.
