    12:23 Great question from Mr. Short Game and equally great answer from Anthony. From his show, I know MSG has been a fan of Anthony from the beginning so it’s cool to see he got a meaningful question in here…MSG sounded a bit emotional too.👍🏼

    Not many athletes are able to comeback from such a dark place, let alone with their lives. I am rooting for AK to get back to elite golf. My best memory of AK shooting 8 straight birdies at Agusta on the final day.

    After hearing glimpses of his story now a lot of the haters have gone quiet. Seems like he’s been in some horrendous circumstances. Something we can all learn from that he’s brought himself out of it. I love AK, rooting for his health and golf game.

  • @ewaz6196
    @ewaz6196 Před měsícem +8

    I for one AM a VERY interested observer. I always liked watching Anthony Kim play and when he was playing his first few rounds in the mid 70s and then fired off a 65 in the 2nd tournament, that was pretty awesome. I'm optimistic he will make some cool things happen. I know the PGA Tour faithfuls and Golf Channel types don't like that this is getting interest and said it would be over after a day or two...but they're wrong. Best of luck AK!
    Oh....and bring back the belt buckles!

    Interesting that PGA also reached out to him. I am sure $$ was a motivator but in all honesty it sounded like he just needed something to focus on so he could get his life in order now that he has a family.
    This was definitely a win for LIV.
    It is amazing how well he still putts and I really think he will place in top 5 this year. Maybe top 15 in Miami.
    I am rooting for this guy.. he had it all and lost himself. It’s like people who win the lottery.. it ruins their lives.
    Remember he had some serious injuries. He didn’t just quit cause he was over it. This is a lesson for all young kids who see success early. Very inspiring story - give the guy a chance

    seems like a chill guy to have a beer with although I´m conflicted about him. I know he never actually liked golf and was forced and pushed by his father to play. However if I was born in the top 0.0001% in terms of talent for anything and get paid millions for it I´d still try to fully realize my potential instead of just quitting. I realize he probably has a lot of trauma inside him, but in the end it was still him who threw it all away for the partying/drugs lifestyle. Only reason he came back is because LIV offered him a huge pile of cash to play again. Still excited to see his comeback.
