The amount of charisma Kim carried on the field rivaled that of only Tiger Woods. This dominating gameplay became his trademark, earning him the respect of his fans and peers. This was confirmed by Sean O’Hair in 2020, who competed on the PGA Tour alongside the prodigal player.
Recounting Kim’s golden days, O’Hair said “he loves that controversy” and “just feeds off of it.” He shared that Kim would be the most anti-social on the PGA Tour. “[Anthony Kim] would go put his headphones on and sit by himself on the couch and be anti-social. Certain people on the team would say certain things, and guys on the international team were talking sh*t, and he’d go out there and whoop him.”
However, all this talk around him did not faze him in the slightest. Despite the talks around him, Kim would dominate the field, according to O’Hair. With a reputation like this, the return of Kim on the greens will be a treat to watch for the fans.
However, it looks like the prodigal player will not return to the traditional league like before. If the rumors are true, the Saudi-backed league has successfully poached the ‘next Tiger Woods’.
