We explain why Anthony Kim’s comeback win at LIV Adelaide connected with so many people. Explore this history of Kim’s career, how we walked away from golf only to resurface and work his way back to the top.
I guess there's some who question the legitimacy of his career ending injury. I don't. I am so happy for AK. The only thing that would make it better is that his comeback was on the pga tour. LIV had to buy out his insurance claim. I hope that someday he will come back to the pga tour.
It’s because he’s one of us. He’s my age, LeBrons age, Mark Zuckerbergs age. Millennials feel a deeper connection to him because we went to high school during the same years, college, etc. it feels like an old friend in the friend group who got deep into drugs and got his life together in a spectacular way.
Glad he has regained his health and rediscovered his swing, but it is difficult to get interested let alone excited about anything that happens on the LIV sideshow.
Not just millennials but Gen X’ers too! We have never witnessed this renegade personality type in golf period! We grew up watching Nicklaus, Watson, Chi chi, Trevino, Player, Stewart, Norman, household names we looked up to as greats. Here comes this kid who starts off amazing then just vanishes in a blink of an eye only to resurrect into some person no one recognizes. Now we know about his whereabouts and what it did to him it is nothing short of a miracle that he is still alive and raising a beautiful family, and on top of that winning a tournament not long after his reappearance from hiatus. Amazing!

The deviated septum is what his problem was.
Peoples champ
He took the insurance payout and couldn't compete in the PGA anymore. That's why he disappeared.
Great video!!
you can tell from how he strikes the ball that he is immensely talented
his swing is immaculate

The most unbelievable thing to me is that this is not AI, that she's stating actual facts!
Because he plays AGGRESSIVE!!! Always goes for the pin. Fun to watch. Which is why he can score low….or blow it…

F*ck the Anthony Kim glaze….. it's insane how much kids these days are glazing him
why she so chopped
AK was the most interesting man in golf before he went AWOL for 15 years so naturally people are highly interested in his comeback
He became an urban legend for the amount of coke he would do
So good to see him play again and win, please give Anthony an invite to Masters

❤👊🙏
Its a story of redemption for a child golf prodigy who fell to darkness living out in real time. Its rare people get to witness something like this
Millennial, Gen Z and Gen X
You name it.
He achieved what was nearly impossible. To he gone that long?
Then play or even be competitive?
Unreal..
I just hope he continues to make his life and the life of everyone around him better

Everyone loves a great comeback. He was down and out bad, got himself clean, and now he's climbed back to the top of the mountain.
