‘Pimp Himself Out’: Golf Fans Left Stunned As Anthony Kim’s LIV Golf Rumors Intensify

The prodigal son has returned! After staying away from professional golf for over a decade, it looks like Anthony Kim has decided to come back. However, the rumors have it that he will not be returning to the PGA Tour. But he will start anew with LIV Golf, thanks to the efforts put in by Greg Norman.

How is the LIV Golf CEO involved in his return? You may wonder. Well, according to rumors, Norman personally took over the negotiations with AK. So it looks like the perseverance of the LIV Golf CEO was what brought the disappeared golfer back to the greens, not the millions of dollars being offered by the PIF.

With this rumor making its way to the internet, the reactions of the fans have also started pouring in. According to rumors, Anthony Kim has signed on with LIV Golf and is set to play as a wildcard at LIV Jeddah next week. But how are the fans taking it? Unfortunately, not in the way LIV Golf wanted them to.

Golf fans criticize the return of Anthony Kim

The return of the American golfer is being criticized for multiple reasons. The biggest one is his decade-long absence from the game. At the peak of his career, Kim was declared to be ‘the next Tiger Woods‘. However, he failed to live up to that title and disappeared from professional golf because of his left achilles tendon ruptured.

Now that he is making his possible return, golf fans are calling it a money move. “After a decade of sparse income, AK has decided to pimp himself out,” a fan said.

Another fan supports this claim, calling questions about the quality of golf LIV Golf is trying to showcase.

One fan tried to have a diplomatic approach and showed curiosity about the probable return of Anthony Kim.

While some minced their words, a fan dropped an unfiltered reaction. They called out LIV Golf and Bryson DeChambeau for having double standards. They said asking for OWGR points and letting a player play who has not competed in a decade don’t go hand-in-hand. 

But not all fans rejected the idea of the return of the American golfer. A fan wished they got the same AK back from his prime.

The overall consensus, however, speaks against the return of the next Tiger Woods. What are your thoughts on Anthony Kim returning to the greens after a decade? Let us know in the comments section below.
