After 11 years of prioritizing his health, Anthony Kim might be making his return to golf. The 2024 season might become the year of the comeback. As every week a new face becomes the poster boy in the golf world, the reports of Kim’s return were nothing short of astounding.

With the golf fans waiting for the story to build up more, PGA Tour pros have reacted to the news well. From Max Homa to Min Woo Lee, PGA Tour pros are excited to welcome the old face of the Tour in the coming years.

It was Golf Digest which released an insider report that Anthony Kim will return to golf. Then, a PGA Tour source revealed that they will openly welcome Kim after his decade-long hiatus. Moreover, as the reports of Kim started going on, LIV Golf was also involved with Kim. It could be sensed that if Kim would be playing again, he would have a choice to tee it up at PGA Tour or LIV Golf.

LIV Golf seemed like a better choice as it comes with a lucrative deal. However, there have been no words of confirmation from the 38-year-old’s side. All rumors remain speculations. Regardless, with rumors catching up, 6x PGA Tour pro, Max Homa has also participated in the trend.

Homa recently tweeted about what could be going on behind the curtains. He portrayed two different scenarios involving PGA Tour and LIV Golf requesting Kim to join their league. The catch is that LIV Golf would be offering $500 million, unlike Tour. The tweet read, “Plz come play on our Tour and also here is 500 million dollars.”

It looked like a slight dig at LIV Golf for always luring in players with million-dollar deals. While Homa reacted jokingly to Kim’s return, two more pros were equally excited about Kim’s anticipated comeback.
