For more than a decade, the name Anthony Kim lived somewhere between memory and myth. Once one of golf’s brightest young stars, Kim, had disappeared from the professional game.
Injuries piled up.
Personal struggles followed.
Rumours replaced scorecards.
And slowly, the swaggering prodigy who once electrified galleries seemed destined to remain one of golf’s great “what if” stories.
Then came the comeback.
Through LIV Golf, Kim stepped back onto the course, not as the dominant force he once was, but as something far rarer in professional sport, a true underdog.
And in Australia, against all expectations, the impossible happened.
At LIV Golf Adelaide, played at the iconic The Grange Golf Club, Kim produced a performance that stunned the golfing world.

Every swing carried the weight of the past decade. Every putt felt like a step back toward redemption.
Yet Kim played with the same fearless energy that once defined his rise, which was attacking the course, trusting his instincts, and embracing the pressure that had once seemed lost to him forever.
When the final putt dropped, it wasn’t just a victory, but a resurrection of a legend.
The galleries erupted.
Fans who had followed his career from its earliest days watched a story that had once seemed unfinished finally find its next chapter.
This was more than a tournament win. It was proof that comebacks — even after years in the wilderness — are still possible.
Now, Kim’s journey moves forward again.
The
LIV Golf tour heads to The Club at Steyn City for LIV Golf South Africa, the first-ever event on African soil.
From 19–22 March 2026, the world’s best golfers will gather in Midrand for what promises to be one of the most incredible stops on the tour.
Music.
Crowds.
Championship pressure.
And somewhere among the favourites will stand a player who has already beaten far greater odds.
Anthony Kim arrives not just as a competitor but as living proof that sport’s greatest stories are never written too early. Because the ultimate underdog has already returned.
The question now is:
Can he do it again?
