  • @ewaz6196
    @ewaz6196 Месяц назад +8

    I for one AM a VERY interested observer. I always liked watching Anthony Kim play and when he was playing his first few rounds in the mid 70s and then fired off a 65 in the 2nd tournament, that was pretty awesome. I'm optimistic he will make some cool things happen. I know the PGA Tour faithfuls and Golf Channel types don't like that this is getting interest and said it would be over after a day or two...but they're wrong. Best of luck AK!
    Oh....and bring back the belt buckles!

    Interesting that PGA also reached out to him. I am sure $$ was a motivator but in all honesty it sounded like he just needed something to focus on so he could get his life in order now that he has a family.
    This was definitely a win for LIV.
    It is amazing how well he still putts and I really think he will place in top 5 this year. Maybe top 15 in Miami.
    I am rooting for this guy.. he had it all and lost himself. It’s like people who win the lottery.. it ruins their lives.
    Remember he had some serious injuries. He didn’t just quit cause he was over it. This is a lesson for all young kids who see success early. Very inspiring story - give the guy a chance
