On May 11 (local time), at the Wissahickon Course (par 70, 7,119 yards) of the Philadelphia Cricket Club in Pennsylvania, USA, Siwoo Kim shot a 1-under-par 69 in the fourth round of the Truist Championship, a PGA Tour Signature Event with a total purse of $20 million. He finished tied for 17th place at 7-under-par 273. Following his tie for 15th at last week's CJ Cup Byron Nelson, he demonstrated consistent form for the second consecutive week.

Siwoo Kim started the final round tied for 16th and recorded two birdies and one bogey. After offsetting a birdie at the 2nd hole with a bogey at the 6th (both par 4s), he made par on eight consecutive holes. He finished the tournament under par by making a birdie at the par-5 15th. His iron shots were accurate, achieving a greens-in-regulation rate of 72.22%. However, his average putts per hole was as high as 1.92.

Sepp Straka of Austria reduced his score by two strokes in the final round to secure a two-shot victory at 16-under-par 264. This marked his second win of the season and fourth career victory, coming four months after his previous win at The American Express in January. He claimed the winner's prize of $3.6 million (approximately 5 billion KRW).

Shane Lowry of Ireland and Justin Thomas of the United States shared second place at 14-under-par 266. Defending champion and Masters winner Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland battled to reduce his score by two strokes but had to settle for a tie for seventh at 10-under-par 270. Sungjae Im finished tied for 23rd at 6-under-par 274, while Byeonghun An and Jordan Spieth of the United States ended the tournament tied for 34th at 4-under-par 276.
