Anthony Kim was long considered one of golf’s greatest enigmas – a young star who reached dazzling heights and showed potential to win majors, only to disappear from the game entirely after six seasons on the PGA Tour.
Despite his short career, Kim’s resume is one most golfers would happily trade for. He had three PGA Tour victories, and was vital in both a Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup win.
Kim only ever made 15 starts in major championships over a five year span, but two top-10s in three tries at the British Open and a third-place finish at The Masters had golf fans feeling like it was only a matter of time before Kim won a major.
Injuries derailed the final years of Kim’s PGA Tour career, and he chose to walk away from the game. 12 years later, however, Kim is back, and will start a new life in the LIV Golf League, beginning Friday in Jeddah.
Here’s a look back at Kim’s golf career, year by year.
