Anthony Kim's surprising comeback to the golfing scene has caused quite a stir among fans and players alike. Following a break of 12 years, the 38-year-old is set to compete in the upcoming LIV Golf event in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, as a wildcard entrant.
Kim's most recent PGA Tour appearance was in 2012, and since then, he has mostly stayed away from the spotlight. His comeback to the golfing world has generated enthusiasm among supporters who recall his remarkable achievements, such as three tournament victories and reaching sixth place in the global rankings.
LIV Golf was instrumental in supporting Kim's return. CEO Greg Norman reached out to Anthony Kim, and the tour presented a one-year agreement that resolved a major obstacle - a $10 million insurance policy that Anthony Kim would lose by coming back. This innovative approach enabled him to participate in competitions while also securing prize money and potential sponsorship agreements.
Reports indicate that golfers such as Dustin Johnson played a key role in supporting Kim's comeback, emphasizing his skills and possible impact on the LIV Golf circuit.
Before exiting the golf scene, Anthony Kim opened up about the challenges he encountered throughout his career. He mentioned wanting to improve his ballstriking skills and change his mindset to enhance his performance.
Kim's comeback to the world of golf following an extended break is bound to spark considerable attention and conjecture. Supporters are excited to witness his performance and if he can regain some of his previous excellence on the field.
