Anthony Kim opens up on being relegated from LIV Golf

Anthony Kim was absent for two consecutive seasons, and this has ultimately led to his relegation from the tour. This means that he will not get automatically qualified for the tour in the 2026 season because he does not have enough qualifying points. Kim talked about how his life had altered dramatically since returning to golf.

Anthony Kim talked about his two seasons on X and left a brief message for fans. He explained how much playing golf for LIV had altered his life and allowed him to overcome his mental health issues. Speaking more about his comeback, Kim thanked his fans for all of their love and support. The post read:

"Although my @livgolf_league season maybe over yall will be seeing me again soon 😳🤷‍♂️😂. I remain gr8ful 4 all the ❤️I’ve been shown since being back in the public 👁️. BTW @realDonaldTrump is crushing it am I right?❤️"

The 40-year-old golfer had to stop playing golf in 2012 because of several injuries. During his 12-year absence, Kim even experienced mental illness, which exacerbated his situation. After his first daughter, Bella, was born, his life took a different turn. Kim signed a deal with LIV and returned to the game in 2022 because he wanted to become the perfect father and role model for his daughter.
