Anthony Kim to LIV Jeddah?

Anthony Kim is allegedly making his LIV Golf debut this coming weekend in Jeddah.

There’s a ton of attention around his return, having disappeared from the game over a decade ago. After accepting a wildcard invitation, AK can fill out one of two wildcard spots now that the LIV league has extended its roster to 54 places after Jon Rahm’s team of Legion XIII joined the league.

Greg Norman was reported to be personally involved in negotiations for the return of AK, and multiple sources have confirmed he will be teeing it up this week.

First reported by Golf Channel, Anthony Kim is a huge name for LIV to sign, as well as attracting attention with one of the games most enigmatic players.

Kim is now 38, a three-time PGA Tour winner that didn’t come close to fulfilling his potential in the game.  There are mixed opinions as to whether he will be a useful signing for the long term name of LIV Golf, as they want to try and move away from a roster full of guys cashing in at the end of their professional career.

The contract is a strong addition to LIV, and will certainly draw more eyes to the broadcast next week. Kim has an insurance policy after his Achilles tendon injury worth $10 million, and this would be voided if he returns to the professional game.
