Anthony Kim Expected to Play in LIV Golf Event After 11-Year Absence from Pro Golf

Anthony Kim is expected to make his return to golf at this week's LIV Golf League event in Saudi Arabia, per ESPN's Mark Schlabach.

He is expected to participate in the LIV Golf Invitational Jeddah tournament, which starts Friday at Royal Greens Golf & Country Club in King Abdullah Economic City. It is expected Kim will play as a wild card.

As a result, Kim will participate in the individual competition but won't have scores count toward the team event.

Kim, 38, has not played professional golf in 11 years, with his last PGA Tour appearance coming in 2012.

In his last professional appearance, Kim withdrew from the first round of the Wells Fargo Championship in May 2012. He had surgery to repair an Achilles injury shortly after and has not played professional golf since.

Schlabach noted that Kim collected a reported $10 million to $20 million disability insurance policy that he would likely be required to pay back if he makes a comeback.

Greg Norman, CEO and commissioner of the LIV Golf League, shared a post on X on Monday that featured Kim walking down a fairway.

Golf.com's Dylan Dethier reported in January that Kim and Norman have had discussions about a one-year LIV deal that would be "in the area of $10 million," but it's not clear whether Kim has accepted any offers.
