[Music] Anthony Kim is making noise again, and this time it’s in Riad. The 40-year-old fired a bogey-free 7under 64 at the PIF Saudi Invitational, his lowest round since returning to professional golf. Before we break down why this round matters, follow for more. After years away due to injuries and personal struggles, Kim is suddenly tied for third at 11 under. Right back in the hunt for a path back to live golf. Kim sits 127th in the International Series rankings. But with 324 points available this week, everything is still in play. Only the top two players earn automatic promotion to the Liv golf league for 2026, while the top 40 advanced to January’s promotions event. Kim, who was relegated from Liv after his 2025 season, says he’s finally finding his rhythm. I’m starting to see some of the work show. He said it’s starting to feel more comfortable out here. He trails leader Caleb Serat by three shots and Thomas Peters by two. A three-time PGA Tour winner and former Rder Cup hero, Kim’s comeback story may not be done yet.
