Nobody can accuse Christina Kim of not taking COVID-19 seriously.

The 36-year-old Californian dressed in a full bodysuit, complete with mask, goggles and gloves, to travel to Ohio for this week’s Toledo Championship.

The tournament is the first event on the LPGA since the tour went into coronavirus shutdown following February’s ISPS Handa Women’s Australian Open.

With the US continuing to struggle to get to grips with the pandemic, three-time winner Kim is taking every precaution to keep the virus at bay as she goes back to work.

Better still, she has been providing a running Twitter commentary of her experiences en route to this week’s event…

1. I didn’t look
2. I don’t care if they did or not. https://t.co/YUYes0P4yh

They were super easy and kind, actually. Very courteous, as was I. TSA is not hard to deal with if you pack within the parameters of what you’re allowed to do and get to the airport with enough time. https://t.co/mXotlRQI7E

Would rather be silly and overkill than risk flying over and finding out I contracted the virus on the flight. Pretty simple. I don’t care if I look ridiculous. https://t.co/fzdpZnWQ98

Well, like I said, I don’t give a shit if someone thinks I look ridiculous. I checked and couldn’t find a flying hoot what others think of me, so…. https://t.co/yhlU9Msd1i

Why on earth would I waste time, money or resources on something like this? If I didn’t want to wear this for protection, do you really think I’d be such an asshole that I would waste this for a photo op when someone else could want or use it? https://t.co/tArroOJPtK

And, I reiterate, I don’t care what others think of me. Go on wit your bad self. Get off my dick, let me live my life as I’ve let you live yours, and have a healthy and prosperous one at that. No need for criticism. My world is one of nothing but love. https://t.co/NwUCqU1uq7
