Anthony Kim is gearing up to come back in the golf world after over a decade of taking a break following injuries! With a comeback come rumors and speculations as well! But against former suspicions, it has been ruled out that the famous pro will not be moving LIV-wards.

I can’t believe I’m posting this, but Anthony Kim will NOT be joining LIV Golf.
Multiple conversations with sources on all sides say there have not been any serious discussions recently either.
