Although it is already the beginning of the season, some consider that Anthony Kim is already one of the most compelling stories of 2026.
Kim went through many difficulties, and he ended his career back in 2011. A few years ago, he decided to open a new chapter in his career, returning to his greatest love; golf.
Although he initially went through a difficult period and it seemed that Kim was far from the level at which top golfers play, he has shown significant progress in recent months. By winning LIV Golf Adelaide, the 40-year-old golfer caused general enthusiasm in golf circles, and many experts, and icons of this sport reacted to the victory of the American.
Tiger Woods knows Anthony Kim well, and at the last press conference before the Genesis Invitational, he reflected on Anthony's victory.
According to Tiger, Anthony Kim showed remarkable talent as a young golfer, but unfortunately his career went in the wrong direction.
Woods points out that it was really hard to watch Kim fall, but his victory speaks volumes about how much he strived to recover from everything and show the world that he deserves to be at the top.
“This kid hit it so good…He had so much natural talent. He could hit any shot he wanted,” Tiger said. “Then to see him struggle in life and didn't really want to play golf…for him to come all the way back and for him to win and to be as devoted as he is to his family, it's a story in which—you just have to wrap your heart around it because of the struggles.”
