Okay, let’s talk about Anthony Kim. If you’ve been following golf, you might know this name. If not, let me tell you, this guy’s story is a wild ride.
I started following him years ago when he was tearing up the PGA Tour. Then, poof, he was gone! Vanished for like 12 years. Nobody knew what happened, it was a real mystery. I thought, “Well, that’s it for him, what a shame.”
Then, out of the blue, news broke out earlier this year that he joined this LIV Golf thing. I was shocked! I immediately tuned in to watch. It wasn’t the same Anthony Kim, not at first anyway. He had this Achilles injury, and I later found out he had a bunch of other surgeries too – shoulder, hand, even his spine! I mean, the guy was practically rebuilt.
His first few games were, well, rough. He didn’t do well at all, let’s be honest. But I kept watching. I was curious, you know? How’s this comeback going to go? His scores were not pretty, and I thought maybe this was a bad idea. But I kept checking the updates, just to see.
But then, something changed. He started playing in these International Series events. I don’t follow the Asian Tour closely, but I made sure to check the results, just because of him. Slowly but surely, he started to improve. He started to show flashes of the old Anthony Kim I remembered.
Then came the news that he’s going to stay with LIV Golf for 2025. At first, I was unsure about this, since he finished pretty low in the 2024 standings, plus he was a wildcard. But then I read that he’s confirmed for next year.
He’s been making some decent money in these LIV Golf events, though. I saw a figure somewhere, over $900,000 from just 11 events. I thought to myself, “Not too shabby for a guy who was off the radar for over a decade.”
My Thoughts
- It’s been a rollercoaster. From disappearing for 12 years to making a comeback, it’s been quite the journey to follow.
- He’s persistent. Dealing with all those injuries and still coming back to play professionally? That takes guts.
- I’m still not sure what to expect. Will he ever reach his old form? I don’t know. But I’m definitely going to be watching to find out.
So that’s my take on Anthony Kim. It’s been a wild ride following his comeback. I’m not sure what the future holds for him, but I’ll be watching. I’m genuinely curious to see how this story unfolds.
