Anthony Kim Returns to Professional Golf After 12-Year Absence

After almost 12 years away from professional golf, Anthony Kim is set to make his return on home soil at LIV Golf’s Miami tournament. The American, once considered one of the brightest young stars in the sport, disappeared from the scene due to injuries and personal struggles.

Having won $15 million in career prizemoney and achieved a ranking of sixth in the world, Kim’s return to the sport has been highly anticipated. Now 38 years old, Kim has signed with the Saudi-backed tour and played in events in Jeddah and Hong Kong, marking his first appearances since 2012.

Kim underwent multiple surgeries and faced mental health challenges during his time away from golf. He recently opened up about his struggles, admitting to being in a dark place and dealing with an addictive personality. However, with the support of his family, including his wife and daughter, Kim has found the strength to make a comeback.

Despite facing setbacks in his first two tournaments back, Kim remains optimistic about his future in the sport. He acknowledges the changes that have occurred in golf technology over the past decade but believes that the fundamentals of the game remain the same.

As Kim prepares to tee up in Miami, fans are eager to see how he will perform after such a long hiatus. His journey back to the sport serves as a reminder that resilience and determination can lead to a successful comeback, both on and off the golf course.
