Great. And wins a win. Locking in a years salary is never a bad decision. But definitely consider holding that ape!

The only way I ever pay attention to the LIV golf tour at its inception is if Anthony Kim is playing it.

The best thing they could do is to lure Anthony Kim to join. That's the one player would bring eyeballs to this tour.

It would just be great to see Anthony Kim play golf again, regardless. #comeback

The golf fans surely want him to play on the rival golf tour. Moreover, the amount of time he has spent off from golf just adds up to it. Kim is the ideal golfer to play in the Saudi Golf League, and the league will be a perfect ground to make his comeback. Moreover, the most important reason which can drive him to become a part of the breakaway tour is the prize money. The total prize money purse for all the events on the SGL is a whopping $255 million.

Anthony always has to keep one thing in his mind. If he joins hands with LIV Golf Invitational, he will be suspended from the PGA Tour. And likely a lifetime ban also as made clear by the PGA Tour commissioner. However, everything will be clear once the opening event comes near, and it will be really interesting to see if he joins the breakaway tour.
Kim’s last PGA Tour victory
Anthony is a three-time winner on the PGA Tour, and his latest win came back in 2010. He won for the last time back in 2010 at the Shell Houston Open. Kim ended the event with an overall score of 12-under-par, forcing a two-man playoff. Moreover, in the end, Anthony made a two-putt par on the first playoff hole to win the event.
