Anthony Kim probably stepped onto the Jeddah course with a point to prove. Day one left him struggling, in a position unfamiliar to the once-rising star. Finishing at +6, the scoreboard tells a tale of struggle, placing him at the tail end of the pack. The golfer even garnered a lot of backlash from the fans. Kim’s clubs will need to speak the language of precision in the coming two rounds, without shanking, if he’s to ascend from last place.

The anticipation for round two is palpable. Who will tee alongside Kim? What time will he tee up? All those answers are right here! As the sun rises over Jeddah, so does the opportunity for Kim’s comeback!

The second round of LIV Golf Jeddah presents Anthony Kim with a formidable challenge and an equally compelling opportunity. His pairings for the day are with Bubba Watson and Graeme McDowell, two very experienced golfers. Watson is known for his powerful drives and innovative play style, and McDowell for his strategic prowess. However, both finished the first round at +2. Their performances, were surely slightly better than Kim’s.

The shotgun start for the tournament will begin at 11:15 am, as per the local time! As per the Eastern time, the fans can witness the action at 3:15 a.m. The fans can tune in to the regional channels or rely on the CW network broadcasting to witness the action. The LIV Golf+ app and DAZN can also be reliable mediums to watch AK tee it up with his other compatriots.

In the first round, AK had hit seven bogeys on the fifth, seventh, eighth, ninth, twelfth, fifteenth, and eighteenth holes. His only birdie in the 18 holes came on the sixth hole. Kim’s first-round performance was not reflective of his true potential, bringing a lot of hope for the remaining two rounds for all the AK fans.

The pressure is undoubtedly on, but so is the chance for Kim to redeem himself. Having said that, what are some of the other pairings that fans will get to witness on the second day?
