At the age of 23, Anthony Kim very well may be the future of golf -- except for one small problem. He's already a present-day superstar.

The California Kid has enjoyed a coming-out party in 2008 after victories in the Wachovia Championship and AT&T National while amassing nearly $4.3 million in earnings.

He also punched a ticket to his first Ryder Cup. Before partaking in the competition at Valhalla, Kim sat down on the ESPN.com Hot Seat to discuss his relationship with Sergio Garcia, a potential rivalry with Tiger Woods and how the current year has differed from 2007.

Q: The last time the Ryder Cup was played in the U.S., you were still in college. Two years ago, you didn't even have a PGA Tour card yet. Do you have to pinch yourself sometimes to make sure this is all really happening?
