Sports 04 March 2026

Anthony Kim, still riding the wave of his stunning victory at LIV Golf Adelaide, confesses he's probably watched the highlights just a *little* too much. "I think I've replayed it enough times where I’m not going to watch it anymore," he chuckled during a recent interview. But honestly, who can blame him? It was a win that reverberated far beyond the greens, a genuine comeback story after an astounding 12 1/2-year absence from the sport.

Now, as he gears up for the HSBC LIV Golf Hong Kong this week, the significance of his Adelaide performance – where he impressively overtook heavy hitters like Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau – isn't lost on him. Kim's journey, the trials and tribulations he faced, and ultimately, his triumphant return, have undeniably struck a chord with fans worldwide, injecting a renewed sense of hope and the sheer power of perseverance into the world of golf.

While the win might have seemed like it came out of nowhere for some, those who've been paying close attention saw whispers of a resurgence brewing. Remember that top-10 finish at the PIF Saudi International back in November? And then, there was that clutch performance at LIV Golf Promotions, ultimately securing his coveted spot back in the league. These were not mere flukes; they were indicators that something special was about to happen.

Signed by 4Aces GC just before the season kicked off in Riyadh, Kim capped off his Australian magic with a final round that was nothing short of breathtaking: a bogey-free, 9-under 63. Even Jon Rahm, no stranger to incredible golf himself, was left in awe, calling it "one of the best rounds of golf I’ve ever seen anybody play." High praise indeed!

Captain Dustin Johnson perfectly captured the sentiment felt by many: "To see him come out on the other side of it, especially, too, playing in the last group with Bryson and Jon, and to go out and play that round of golf was really special." He went on to say, "It was a really special moment. I think it was great for the game of golf. It was great for LIV. Obviously, it was great for our team, the Aces, and most importantly, it was great for him and his family."

And speaking of family, Kim is quick to credit them as the driving force behind his resurgence. His post-victory celebration wasn't filled with wild parties, but rather a family vacation to Thailand, thoughtfully combined with dedicated practice sessions. He specifically acknowledges his wife, Emily, for her unwavering belief in him, stating emphatically, "there’s zero chance I’d playing golf" without her. And his daughter, Bella, well, she's his constant source of inspiration. It's clear that for Anthony Kim, this comeback is about more than just golf; it's about family, resilience, and proving to himself – and the world – that anything is possible.
