I'd like to know if a .com domain (www.example.com) is more relevant than the .tk domain (www.example.tk). Or does it not matter to Google?

No, it's no longer relevant.
According to this post of one of Google's search quality engineers, this is a myth and the top-level domain ( TLD ) has no relevance in evaluating the site or page .
However, if a search is done, for example, in Brazil, a TLD .br is more likely to appear in the top positions.
Here is a link that explains the ranking factors:

In fact, domain extensions do not interfere with Google's first ranking. What counts is the age of the website, reputation, backlinks and most of all the content.
However, .TK domains are heavily spammed and abused. They are treated as "dirty" domains. Some time ago, Google penalized the entire .TK TLD.
Instead of using a .TK, it is recommended to use blogspot.com or wordpress.com. The SEO level has a lot more effect.
