There was drama until the very end, but one of LIV Golf’s foundation players, Henrik Stenson, was relegated from the league at LIV Golf Indianapolis along with Anthony Kim.
Anthony Kim posted a lengthy, revealing message to his Instagram page on Thursday. In it, he celebrated two years of sobriety and went into detail about his past drug use.
To be fair, there was nowhere to go but up. The 39-year-old hadn’t earned world-ranking points since a T-42 finish at the 2012 Honda Classic when he was still playing on the PGA Tour.
Anthony Kim didn’t touch a club for seven years during his publicised absence from golf. He didn’t touch social media, either. In fact, he wasn’t on it until recently. He had no idea that online, his whereabouts had morphed from curiosity to bigfoot levels.
At his first official US press conference in more than 12 years, Kim peeled back a few more layers as the picture of his lengthy absence continues to crystallise.
Anthony Kim’s comeback doesn’t officially start until Friday’s first round of the LIV Golf Jeddah event, but he hit his first shot with the cameras rolling on Thursday. And, well, it didn’t go as well as he’d like.
