The Anthony Kim Gamble Can Pay Huge Dividends for LIV Golf, Just Not Immediately
Anthony Kim didn’t do anything that he wasn’t expected to do.12 years of hiatus had left his mark on his game. That one year of hardcore training – as Greg Norman said – couldn’t remove the rust entirely.
Kim shot 6-over 76 in the first round with seven bogeys and a cold shank. The shank obviously received some undue attention, because the man he was compared to in his heyday, Tiger Woods, made one in the Genesis Invitational.
He couldn’t come any nearer to par in the second round with an identical score. Kim is at 53, after Matthew Wolff’s withdrawal with a 12-over 152 to his name. Yet there are reasons to believe that Greg Norman didn’t make a historical mistake by spending millions on a star who was seemingly lost in time.

Around par it was unfortunate that I made so many unforced errors from the middle of the Fairway that’s generally my strength is my iron game to make so many unforced errors is really disappointing Anthony Kim spoke with his characteristic frankness after the first round Greg Norman explained in the TV
Broadcast that he told the three-time PGA Tour winner to get on that driving range here and get in the middle and listen to DJ Dustin Johnson hit listen to John Ram hit listen to Brooks cepa hit the sound is different and that sound is going to get you I said that’ll
Ignite your senses again and get all those sensory overloads back into equilibrium IR would take some time for the unforced errors to give way to calculated risks there are a few things he needs to adapt to in fact Tiger Woods making a comeback at the Hero World Challenge offered some insights into
That game time is vastly different said the 15-time major winner Kim who had been practicing with amateurs before needs to adapt his game to the elite level as he certainly showed that he was hungry to reach there but how much time will Kim need that perhaps is the biggest question hanging off everyone’s
Tongue how long how long before Anthony Kim goes back to being the AK that he was amidst two hapless rounds one positive outlier Kim has maintained the driving speed just that the game has moved on quite fast Kim’s average ball speed of 170 mph was above the tour
Average in 201 the former PGA tour pro was hitting around that same range at Liv Gulf Jetta as well however that was lacking per 2024 standards how long will it take Kim to get back to the top level is anyone’s guess golf fans and perhaps the great white shark to have entirely
