Is Anthony Kim joining the LIV Golf Invitational Series? The question has been lingering in the minds of millions of golf fans since a reputed media outlet reported the supposed offer the league put forward and how the golfer responded to his comeback via a former caddie. However, not everyone agrees that these claims are true, and his good friend Ben Baller is one of them.
“You guys gotta do better,” the American music producer-actor said in a video he posted on Twitter directed towards NY Times for publishing such claims. Moreover, he outrightly called out the publication for spreading false rumors. “You guys are a legit publication, and you guys are acting like you got a direct quote from AK… allegedly from Adam – his coach- and his caddie,” he said in the video.
Interestingly, Ben Baller claimed in the Twitter video that Kim has talked to his coach recently, as far as he knows. “I talk to Anthony almost every single day,” Baller further added. “We talked yesterday for an hour.”

Fans skeptical about new Anthony Kim update regarding LIV Golf
Anthony Kim was a sensation when he used to play. He was supposed to be the one that was going to give tough competition to Tiger Woods and replace his G.O.A.T. position. However, fans were crushed after he abruptly retired following an injury.

Since then, people have been anticipating his return to the professional world. The news about him showing green flags for joining the PGA Tour rival league may have made many of them disappointed. However, they were happy to know he will be back in action. However, Baller’s update about Kim has put them in a tough position again.
While many were sad to know that the rumors of Kim playing again would remain a rumor, many didn’t believe the actor’s words. After players like Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka joined the league after denying it for months, people started not to believe anything they said related to joining LIV Golf.
How does this disprove anything. People can bitch about the media all they want but these papers don’t play. Libel laws are real. They don’t “make up sources.” They don’t print what the can’t back up. Not because they’re noble because they can’t afford lawsuits.

So tell us what the hell is going on with AK! The golfing world wants to know how he is

Everyone who has said they are not joining have ended up joining

1) is AK still a beast? Obviously yes, which leads to 2) WHY NOT LIV
— Dakota Atkinson (@OfficialDak) January 27, 2023
Hurry up and get him to sign w/LIV
— Kevin Chambers (@sdgolfhacker94) January 27, 2023
Hold on… AK hasn’t played professional golf in how long and he has a coach/caddie? Ok… Next, if he is in talks with LIV he’s surely under NDA and can’t talk about it. Lastly, AK is a ghost and if they do get him… well done Shark Process. Good CW content.

Lmao this is so dumb Ben. They reported what this source said. If you or Anthony dispute it, fine, say so. Your beef is with the caddy who gave the quote, not the news outlet for simply reporting it. People crying about “the media” like this is the most obnoxious trend
— Cooper Platt (@willfulbreach) January 27, 2023
At this point, some of them just want to watch their Ryder Cup hero Kim play one more time. Hence, although they know the actor’s claims might be right, they hope to see him become wrong.
