Former PGA Tour player Anthony Kim is set to make a highly anticipated comeback to the golfing world after nearly a decade-long absence. The 36-year-old golfer will be participating as a wild-card entry in an upcoming LIV Golf event in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia from March 1-3.
Kim, who had withdrawn from the Wells Fargo Championship in 2012 due to injury and subsequent surgery on his Achilles, vanished from the professional golf scene soon after. Now, after years of speculation and anticipation, the golfer seems ready to return to the sport that made him a household name.
According to reports, Kim has been diligently working on his game and negotiating his comeback with both the PGA Tour and LIV Golf. Discussions have revolved around a hefty $10 million insurance policy, with golfing legends Dustin Johnson and Greg Norman reportedly advocating for Kim’s return.
Once hailed as a rising star in golf, Kim had a promising start to his career, winning three tournaments and reaching the No. 6 spot in the rankings. However, his last PGA Tour appearance in 2012 was less than stellar, with just three top-10 finishes following his hiatus.
Despite his prolonged absence from the sport, Kim’s return has sparked immense interest and excitement among fans and fellow golfers alike. With the support of key figures in the golfing world and a one-year deal with LIV Golf in place, all eyes will be on Anthony Kim as he makes his much-anticipated return to the game he once dominated.
