  • This is a big one! Just before Anthony Kim's second event on the LIV Tour following his return to professional golf, we got a chance to play a match with him. I was more nervous for this match than I was for almost any match I can remember.

    I have hated how cruel people were towards AK, especially on Instagram. Part of it was because of the pouring-over of LIV hate, partly I think people are just bullies that like to go after people's vulnerabilities. AK has been through some shit, might have made some really bad decisions, done bad things. The man I see today, and I have a different perspective as I did not watch golf before he retired, is a man of principle and a kind, reflected and wholesome father. I wish him nothing but the best.

      Agree! Everyone has a life to live! Just do your best at it and where the chips fall, they will!

      It’s the internet. You can’t take any of what is said to heart.. no one would say anything in person

    • @jeremylowe2309
      @jeremylowe2309 21 день назад +3

      I agree with you but now that I’m seeing the comments I was right about his nose. It happens, no biggie. As long as he feels healthy and good now, he’s cool. It’s crazy the talent we never got to see though.

      Agree 100%, comment sections in general are one of tje worst things to ever hit the internet

  • @FelixGallardo1946
    @FelixGallardo1946 22 дня назад +77

    100% seeing Pro’s struggle to break par is so much more entertaining than seeing them breeze around a course shooting 8 or 9 under

    • @kimchee411
      @kimchee411 13 дней назад

      Right? One reason why majors are great and tourneys where the winner shoots 28 under par are boring as hell.

    Erik, so glad you went out and did this match. After seeing all the big media interviews with AK, it is nice to see him on the course, relaxed, with an interviewer like you. Great job!

    This video was SUCH a treat man. Thank you for this. I was a fan of AK and Tiger when they were coming up. They made golf younger and relatable to a younger gen. I missed the attitude and swag AK brought to the game. It was so great to see glimpses of his old confident self and see him in a better place. Not to mention a treat to watch the golf play itself. Props for keeping to your word and getting the ink. I wish I saw AK's reaction to you getting it. Huge thumbs up.

  • @atxrich

    One of my favorite videos of AK was back in his prime and him and Tiger were doing an exhibition on a driving range. They were both asked the question “how far do you hit your sand wedge?” AK went first and basically said idk it depends on the day, it could be 90 yards or 120 yards. Tiger then answered the question and said 118 yards. Just showed you that there were different ways to play this game and still very super successful!
