Report: Anthony Kim to make shock return to action at LIV Golf Jeddah

Anthony Kim could be in line for a sensational return to competitive action by joining the LIV Golf League in March, per Barstool Sports' Dan Rapaport.

Kim, 38, won three times on the PGA Tour between 2008 and 2010 and he played a key role in helping the United States Ryder Cup team defeat Europe at Valhalla in 2008.

But Kim would disappear from the game in 2012, citing no reason, and he has also not given an interview since.

It is largely accepted he cashed in on an insurance policy after struggling with injuries to his wrist and knee.

That policy would be voided should he ever play competitive golf again.

However, according to Barstool Sports' Rapaport, word among the LIV Golf players teeing it up at Mayakoba in Mexico this week is that Kim is nearing a shock return to the sport and to the Saudi-bankrolled circuit at LIV Golf Jeddah from 1-3 March.

Jeddah plays host to the third LIV Golf League event of 2024 following Mayakoba this week and Las Vegas from 8-10 February.

Rapaport tweeted just 24 hours before the start of LIV Golf Mayakoba:

"Word spreading among LIV players that Anthony Kim will make his LIV Golf debut in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, March 1-3."

Last week it emerged from GOLF's Dylan Dethier that Kim had been holding talks with both the PGA Tour and LIV Golf about making a return to the game this season.

Dethier's report stated:

"Kim has spent the last few months in discussions with the PGA Tour, LIV and potential sponsors as he plots a way back, multiple sources familiar with those discussions told GOLF.

"He's been playing more golf. He's been ramping up workouts. He's confident in his game. That part, people say, definitely hasn't changed. Now, it's just a matter of where he makes his return."
