Anthony Kim has a shocker with his opening tee shot during the LIV Golf Jeddah Pro-Am!
Anthony Kim’s initial drive at the LIV Golf Jeddah Pro-Am didn’t go as expected, prompting the former PGA Tour player to request a mulligan. Kim, who is 38 years old, made a surprising comeback this week after being on a 12-year hiatus due to injuries.
There were high hopes on the PGA Tour that Kim would achieve superstardom similar to Tiger Woods in the future.
Kim is believed to have taken advantage of an insurance policy valued at $15-20m following challenges with injuries.
Had he continued his career on the PGA Tour that would have been voided. It has also been speculated he didn’t enjoy Tour life.
Kim said ahead of his LIV Golf debut this week: “I will tell my story when it’s the right time but right now I’m focused on golf.”

The three-time PGA Tour winner and former US Ryder Cup star was announced as LIV Golf’s latest signing by CEO Greg Norman on Twitter earlier this week.
Kim will tee up in his first LIV Golf event starting in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, this Friday.
He is rocking a very different look to the one we last remember with a tattoo sleeve and very laidback dress sense it would seem.
Kim will be hoping his golf game warms up fast, however, after getting off to a horror start with his opening tee shot in the pro-am.
He was heard asking for a mulligan!

The amount that Kim has received for his work with LIV Golf this season is currently undisclosed.
Kim will participate in the rest of the 2024 LIV Golf regular season tournaments as one of only two wildcard players with the goal of gaining points in the league’s individual rankings and securing a spot on a team for 2025.
The American golfer is teaming up with season-long wildcard player Hudson Swafford to compete against the 13 four-player teams in the LIV Golf League’s 14-event global schedule.
