This event is the culmination of the Race to Dubai, which is the primary reason that Kim and other U.S.-based touring pros joined the European Tour. Instead, Kim is opting to rest after mismanaging his schedule. "I'm not going," said Kim, who will still honor his commitment to the Kiwi Challenge on November 11-12. "I need the week off. My parents want to see their boy ... I was all over the place this year. I didn't do a good job of scheduling. Scheduling is half your job as a pro ... Even if they don't have a Race to Dubai next year, I'm still going to sign up for European Tour membership. There's a different vibe out here, and it's good to experience it. I just need to do a better job with my schedule." Kim will not be replaced in the Euro Tour finale.
