LIV Golf's Anthony Kim sends a strong message to trolls after disastrous outing at LIV Golf Korea

Anthony Kim competed in the recently concluded LIV Golf Korea, finishing one spot away from last position. Following the conclusion of the tournament, the American golfer shared a post on Instagram, slamming his trolls.

Kim, 39, started playing professional golf in 2006. He won the Wachovia Championship and the AT&T National in 2008 and claimed the Shell Houston Open title two years later. In 2012, the California-born golfer suffered an injury to his left leg, which forced him to stay off the course until 2024.

When Anthony Kim returned to the professional golf scene in 2024, he jumped ship from the PGA Tour and joined LIV Golf to play as a wildcard. However, he has failed to secure a title, and his best performance this year was at Miami, where he placed T29.

On Tuesday, May 6, Kim shared a post on Instagram that read:

“Your authenticity is triggering to people who are pretending to be what you really are.”

In the caption, he called out a social media user who watches his Instagram stories and trolls him under a "screen name." The caption read:

“Imagine being a grown man hating and being so scared you have to hide behind a screen name but still watch every single story on IG 🤦 😂”

“Thank you @livgolf_league KOREA 4 the ❤️. This week regardless of score will be 1 of my most cherished memories in my sobriety journey 2 B back in KOREA w my family & feel the love & support of so many.”

Kim also acknowledged that his scores are still not close to his abilities, and he has struggled to hit the ball in the fairway since his return. However, he remains positive that his patience and consistency will pay off in the end.
